A new war has just broken out at Wall Street, and it does not imply banks or replenishments – it is a brutal confrontation between Bitcoin Maxis and Gold Bugs, and it is fought by negotiated funds on the stock market.
This week, Tidal Financial Group filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to launch two Aggressive Long-Short ETFs. One supports Bitcoin while Paris against gold, and the other will do the opposite.
The company pushes them under its brand Battleshares, transforming the endless piss competition between crypto and metal into market product.
According to BloombergThe funds would give investors a noisy means and with one click to choose one side in one of the most ideological fights of finance. For years, Bitcoin fans have launched the medal as a digital organ, a hard alternative to monetary printing.
Meanwhile, gold defenders consider the brilliant rock as the only real hedge when things collapse. Now, these opposite views are cooked in FNBs that use Swaps, Options and Undeaded Sales to go all-in on asset traders who think that victories in a shit scenario.
Tidal monetizes the Bitcoin VS Gold Culture War
The Bitcoin-Long / Gold-Short product is for those who think that the cryptographic crowd finally has the advantage. The Gold-Long / Bitcoin-Short version is for boomers who believe that the digital room is always a fantasy tech bro.
Dhaval Joshi, chief strategist of Counterpoint, said that it looked like a personal victory. He sees both bitcoin and gold as part of the same asset class – to which governments cannot easily grasp or kill. “Bitcoin will gradually seize gold market shares,” said Joshi. “If long BTC / Gold Short should go higher over time, while BTC / GOLT Long Trend will be lower.” He has argued for years, and now he is thrilled in a product that regular investors can use.
But not everyone encourages. Brent Donelly, president of Spectra FX Solutions, thinks that everything is an unnecessary noise. “It seems gadget and useless,” said Donelly. “Most bull people on Bitcoin are also optimistic in gold.” He stressed that anyone could already build the same job using the Ibit of BlackRock for Bitcoin and GLD of State Street for gold. “These ETFs simply add friction.”
That said, the two assets evolve within very different deadlines. Gold reached new heights in 2025 thanks to the fear of the stability of American assets during the trade war. At the same time, Bitcoin crashed alongside other risky actions in early April. But once the White House, now led by Donald Trump, relied more deeply in the crypto and reported to come, Bitcoin came strong.
“Bitcoin continues to negotiate itself as a risky asset, according to the Nasdaq very closely with a few exceptions,” said Donelly. He added that “gold is more a” Sell America “proxy these days.”
Retail merchants eat it. Their appetite for risk has not dropped. Even after the markets became crazy in April, they came back. And just this week, Bitcoin reached $ 100,000 on Thursday, while Gold fell as a result of the Fed's decision to hold stable rates.
This back and forth is exactly the reason why investors are divided. Some hide inflation. Others bet on chaos. And Fomo drags billions of dollars on both sides. Until now, in 2025, more than $ 14 billion have flocked in the first four FNB Golds, while the main ETF Bitcoin has collected $ 8 billion.
Charlie Morris, CIO at Bytree Asset Management, does not choose a winner. His fund, Bold, divides the difference by allocating both with Bitcoin and Gold. “I believe that bitcoin and gold both benefit from this era of macroeconomic uncertainty, but at different times,” said Morris. “Gold tends to do better when there is geopolitical uncertainty and bitcoin when things are fine.”
