In this episode of Talk ETFs, etf.com Senior Analyst Sumit Roy sits down with David Dziekanski, CEO &amp; CIO of Quantify Funds and portfolio manager of the [**STKD Bitcoin &amp; Gold ETF (BTGD)**](/btgd), to discuss why bitcoin soared and gold sagged after the election.

Why did Donald Trump’s resounding win in the presidential election send prices for the two store-of-value assets in opposite directions?

What’s the reason for the divergence and will it be sustained?

Dziekanski also dives into what “return stacked” ETFs are and how they fit into portfolios.
