World Gold Council CEO predicts Bitcoin will go to zero, citing instinct and risk asset correlation.

David Tait, CEO of the World Gold Council, expressed his personal belief that Bitcoin will eventually go to zero, based purely on instinct as a trader rather than analytical reasoning. He noted that Bitcoin has failed to act as a hedge against risk assets during crises, instead correlating with them. Tait suggested investors holding either gold or Bitcoin should hold both, as they offset each other. Meanwhile, he highlighted that gold's price rally is driven by fears over unsustainable sovereign debt rather than wars or tariffs. The World Gold Council is also developing a digital platform to make physical gold more accessible to the crypto community, aiming for a proof of concept by year-end.
