HTX Analyst: Treasuries, Gold and BTC Each Have Allocation Value in High-Rate Era

The framing is notable less for its conclusions than for its venue: a major exchange's in-house analyst publicly placing BTC alongside Treasuries and gold as a portfolio building block, rather than as a standalone speculative trade. That reflects how institutional vocabulary has seeped into exchange commentary, even as the analyst concedes BTC's volatility and dependence on macro liquidity and fund flows. The open question is whether this three-way allocation framing gains traction among allocators or remains exchange-side marketing language.
