Odds of Bitcoin outperforming gold in 2026 surge to 59% on Polymarket
Bitcoin's odds of outperforming gold by 2026 have reached 59% on the Polymarket prediction platform.Summary
The probability that Bitcoin will outperform gold by 2026 has increased to 59% on the blockchain-driven prediction platform Polymarket, reflecting growing trader confidence following Bitcoin's move above $90,000 at the start of the year. This optimism contrasts with 2025, when Bitcoin underperformed gold significantly, with gold surging over 65%. Despite Bitcoin's volatility in 2025, peaking near $126,000 before a year-end retreat, traders are now betting on its superior returns over the precious metal this year. However, some analysts, like Jurrien Timmer of Fidelity Investments, suggest that Bitcoin might be entering a consolidation phase in 2026, potentially seeing prices return to the $65,000–$70,000 range, even while maintaining a positive long-term outlook.
