Matthew Sigel, head of digital asset research at VanEck, has disclosed that Deutsche Bank, a German multinational investment bank, anticipates that bitcoin (BTC) will join gold on central bank balance sheets within the next five years. The latest report revealed BTC is evolving from a fringe speculative asset into a more mature hedge, which is similar in some ways to gold. It offers non-correlated protection, especially in environments of monetary uncertainty or inflation risk.
