Bitcoin Trumps Dollar, Swiss Franc, Yen As Retail Investors' Safe Haven Choice If US Hits Debt Ceiling: Survey

Although gold remains the top choice as a safe haven in case the U.S. hits the debt ceiling and Treasuries take the second spot, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) seems to have snatched the third spot from popular assets like the U.S. dollar, Swiss franc or the Japanese yen, a survey reportedly shows. More retail investors have voted for Bitcoin compared to the dollar as a safe haven choice but professional investors appear to be equally divided in their opinion on the assets, according to Bloomberg’s latest Markets Live Pulse survey.
