Bitcoin (BTC) has dropped to an all-time low compared to gold (XAU) in January. According to some analysts, this is creating a more attractive buying opportunity than the period just before the 2015–2017 growth cycle. The shift from gold to Bitcoin may begin in February Data from Bitwise Europe ch

Tether is rapidly expanding in the gold market, accumulating 140 tons of gold and becoming one of the world's largest physical gold holders. The company plans to actively trade to capture gold arbitrage opportunities and has launched a gold-pegged stablecoin, XAU₮. Tether has earned a net profit of $15 billion from its stablecoin business and holds a large amount of U.S. Treasury bonds and Bitcoin, gradually forming an arbitrage machine that spans traditional finance and the crypto world.

For years, Bitcoin (BTC) traders have watched its price relative to gold (XAU) for clues on when BTC bottoms in US dollar terms. But in 2026, that BTC-to-gold signal is starting to look less dependable as macro dynamics shift and the ratio migrates away from previously established benchmarks. The la

The US Dollar Index 96.3 is approaching a critical inflection point. History shows that after the dollar fell below 96 in 2017, BTC surged tenfold, and in 2020, it increased by 540%. If the fractal repeats, it could reach $150,000. However, current interest rates and real yields are relatively high, increasing the risk of yen arbitrage unwind. The BTC/XAU ratio has fallen back below the 200-week moving average, and historically, every four years after touching this level, a new cycle begins.

Tether Gold (XAU₮) dominated the gold-backed stablecoin market, surpassing $4 billion by December 2025, capturing 60% market share. Fully backed by physical gold in Swiss vaults, it ranks among the top global gold holders, reflecting increasing demand for secure, tokenized assets.

The Bitcoin RSI against gold has dropped below the 30 mark for only the fourth time in history, suggesting that BTC may be oversold compared to XAU. This structure recently played out amid the divergence in performance between Bitcoin (BTC), the leading cryptocurrency, and gold (XAU), the leading p

Escalating geopolitical instability, fueled by renewed US-Europe trade tensions and territorial disputes, has triggered a dramatic flight to safety in global markets. Gold (XAU) has surged decisively above the $4,800 mark, while Silver (XAG) eyes the critical $100 level, as investors seek traditional safe havens. Conversely, Bitcoin has tumbled back below $90,000, mirroring a broad sell-off in risk assets like equities and bonds. This divergence underscores a classic market shift: capi

Author: Wenser, Odaily Planet Daily 2026, Survival is King. In the previous article "2026, Survive: A Bear Market Survival and Counterattack Manual for Crypto Enthusiasts," we systematically outlined this year's "survival strategies," emphasizing asset allocation in precious metals like gold as a key focus. For those aiming to hedge against inflation, fiat devaluation, and the falling US dollar exchange rate through gold, the next challenge is how to allocate gold-related assets. In this regard, based on the author's personal understanding, XAUT issued by Tether may be the best way for crypto enthusiasts to allocate gold assets. Coupled with Tether's recent launch of a new accounting unit "Scudo" for Tether Gold (XAU₮), the barrier to entry for gold tokens has sharply dropped to just a few dollars. This article

Tether introduces the Scudo pricing unit for XAU₮, dividing gold into one-thousandth to lower the threshold and promote digital gold payments and practicality. Drawing inspiration from Bitcoin's "Satoshi" concept, Tether launches a new pricing unit for XAU₮ — Scudo --------------------------------------- The leading stablecoin Tether officially announced on January 6, 2026, the introduction of a new accounting and pricing unit for its gold-pegged digital token Tether Gold (XAU₮): "Scudo." This move directly borrows the logic of Bitcoin (Bitcoin) dividing its basic unit into "Satoshi." According to official definitions, 1 Scudo equals 1,000 cents.

Tether introduced Scudo, a new unit for its gold-backed token XAU₮, representing 1/1,000 of a troy ounce. This change simplifies pricing and enhances usability while maintaining XAU₮'s gold backing and reserves.

On 6 January 2026, Tether announced the launch of Scudo, a new unit of account for Tether Gold (XAU₮), designed to make gold usable as a practical means of payment for everyday transactions. The move comes as global interest in gold and its price reach record highs. Record Gold Prices Highlight

Author: NDV The NDV research team recently conducted a systematic analysis of the price relationship between Bitcoin (BTC) and gold (XAU). The reason for focusing on this topic is that these two types of assets are often seen by the market as "stores of value" and "hedging tools": gold has been a traditional safe-haven asset and a "safe harbor" for global investors for decades; while BTC is increasingly referred to as "digital gold" by many investors and has gained a new status against the backdrop of rising macroeconomic uncertainty. The starting point of the research is: how to balance volatility and improve the Sharpe Ratio (a measure of return per unit of risk) by configuring gold and BTC in an investment portfolio with a high Crypto weight. In other words, are the two in a substitute relationship or a complementary relationship? After analyzing the data and market mechanisms of the past four years

Gold extended its downward correction into a second consecutive week. The technical outlook is yet to reflect a convincing bearish reversal. Comments from Fed officials and US economic data will be watched closely. Gold (XAU/USD) remained under bearish pressure and touched its weakest level

Gold (XAU) prices have fallen nearly 7% since their all-time high, marking the largest drop in 12 years. However, Bitcoin (BTC) prices have held at the support level of $107,500, demonstrating remarkable resilience. Although the two previously showed a positive correlation, the current indicator shows a correlation of 0.19, indicating almost no correlation.

Recently, gold prices have surged, and the market capitalization of the gold token XAU₮ issued by Tether has surpassed PAXG, reaching 2.2 billion USD. Tether is collaborating with Antalpha to enter the digital gold reserve market, planning to facilitate investments through brokerage accounts. Additionally, gold has become a safe-haven asset, and investor demand for tokenized gold is on the rise.

Gold (XAU), a traditional "non-productive" store of value asset, saw its market capitalization soar to over $30 trillion in 2025, with prices reaching a record $4,380 per ounce, significantly surpassing Bitcoin and U.S.-listed tech giants. This surge was primarily driven by economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and declining confidence in the dollar. Citadel CEO Ken Griffin expressed concern over this, suggesting it indicates problems with the stability of the U.S. economy.

Bitcoin (BTC) is quietly flashing a historically familiar bottom signal, as the daily relative strength index (RSI) of the Bitcoin/Gold ratio (BTC/XAU) has fallen below 30 into the oversold territory. This signal indicates that Bitcoin's performance relative to gold has reached an extreme level of sluggishness. Historically, this setup often marks the "capitulation phase" of the crypto market and the exhaustion of dumping, after which the BTC/USD price tends to experience a strong rebound. In August 2024 and March 2025, similar oversold readings triggered increases of 30% to 90% in BTC/USD.

Gold just made history. For the first time ever, XAU/USD surged past $4,200, marking a fresh all-time high and extending one of the strongest multi-year uptrends in its modern history. But as with every major rally, the question traders are asking now is: Is this sustainable – or are we due for a he

Driven by multiple factors such as global market turbulence, rising industrial demand, and the continued weakness of the dollar, the precious metals market is witnessing a historic moment: Spot gold (XAU) has surged to $4,059 per ounce, breaking the key psychological barrier of $4,000 for the first time; at the same time, silver (XAG) has also reached a historic high, breaking $50. While precious metals are setting historical records, the institutional acceptance of digital gold Bitcoin has also made a breakthrough: the Luxembourg sovereign wealth fund announced that it will allocate 1% of its $730 million assets to Bitcoin ETF, becoming the first national fund in the Eurozone to make such an investment. This series of events marks an accelerated shift in global asset allocation towards tangible store of value tools, with unprecedented demand for hedging and anti-inflation narratives.

Due to geopolitical instability factors such as the risk of a U.S. government shutdown and political turmoil in France, risk aversion in the global financial markets has sharply increased, driving both gold (XAU) and Bitcoin (BTC) to set historical highs this week. The price of gold has surpassed the key level of $4,000, while Bitcoin has skyrocketed to over $125,000. The strong performance of these two major assets not only highlights investors' deep concerns about Inflation, surging debt, and political instability but also signifies that the market's preference for inflation hedging tools and reserve asset alternatives has become a dominant trend for 2025.

Tether has partnered with Antalpha to raise $200 million to create a digital asset vault, focusing on managing the gold token XAU₮, aiming to develop it into an institutional-grade hedging tool. XAU₮ will enhance liquidity and expand market share, and will be further integrated into multiple public chains to support Decentralized Finance applications.

At the beginning of last week, driven by the increased safe-haven demand due to escalating geopolitical tensions, gold (XAU/USD) prices reached a historical high of nearly $3,790. However, mid-week, the dollar index strengthened due to the combined pressure from the cautious policy remarks of Fed Chairman Powell and strong U.S. economic data (including Q2 GDP revised up to 3.8%, durable goods orders significantly exceeding expectations, and a surge in new home sales), causing gold prices to retreat and consolidate around $3,750. As the market widely anticipates another rate cut in October, investors will closely monitor the upcoming U.S. employment and manufacturing data to assess the Fed's next policy path.

Driven by the fact that the U.S. August core PCE data met expectations and strengthened the Fed's expectation of further rate cuts this year, the price of gold (XAU) continued to rise in the early Asian session on Monday, breaking through $3,780. Technical analysis shows that both gold and silver are in a strong bullish trend. However, the cryptocurrency market presents an opposite trend: last week, U.S. Bitcoin and Ether ETFs recorded a net outflow of over $1.7 billion, marking the largest single-week loss since the launch of the Ether ETF. Institutional investors, amid geopolitical and Fed policy uncertainties, are turning their attention to other altcoin assets like Solana and XRP.

Spot gold (XAU/USD) has risen for the sixth consecutive week, reaching a historic high of 3791.26 USD. Technically, gold has far exceeded its 52-week moving average of 3067.26 USD, and the RSI indicator is in an overbought state, significantly increasing the risk of a pullback. This week, the market focus will be on the US non-farm payroll report, as this data will directly impact the Fed's interest rate cut path: strong employment data may delay rate cut expectations, thereby putting pressure on gold prices. Meanwhile, after Bitcoin's price fell below a significant threshold, the Fear and Greed Index plummeted to 28, indicating that the crypto market may be approaching a rebound phase, providing tactical get on board opportunities for long-term investors.

In 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) is no longer just a speculative asset, but has gradually become an important component of strategic reserves for various countries. The latest report from the Bitcoin Policy Institute shows that 32 countries around the world are actively promoting Bitcoin initiatives, among which 27 countries already hold Bitcoin, and 13 countries are formulating related legislation. The United States, Argentina, the United Arab Emirates, and other countries are accelerating the adoption of Bitcoin through national reserves, energy-driven mining, and payment and ETF investments. Meanwhile, enterprises and fintech companies are also incorporating Bitcoin into their asset portfolios and consumer financial products, signifying that Bitcoin is gradually moving towards a global reserve asset status alongside gold (XAU).

Gold has broken through the $3,500 resistance after months of consolidation, signaling a bullish trend. The breakout indicates increased buying interest, although traders should remain cautious of potential pullbacks as momentum builds. Patience has proven vital in this market.

Gold (XAU) prices have recently surged, breaking through $3,480 per ounce, reaching a new high since April, just a step away from the historical peak. The key driver behind this rally is a frequently overlooked signal from the bond market—the steepening of the U.S. Treasury yield curve bull market. This bond market dynamic not only drops the opportunity cost of holding gold but may also bring potential favourable information for Bitcoin (BTC).

Historically, the capital flow of Bitcoin (BTC) and gold (XAU) has often exhibited a pattern of one rising while the other falls—when BTC experiences capital outflows, gold usually sees an influx of safe-haven money. However, the latest ETF data shows that this "safe-haven rotation" pattern was broken in August 2025: both assets experienced capital outflows simultaneously, reflecting the current macroeconomic uncertainty and changes in investor sentiment.

Gold ( XAU/USD ) has experienced a weak rebound after a big dump at the beginning of the week, as easing geopolitical tensions have diminished its safe-haven appeal. The U.S. inflation and retail data are mixed, raising doubts about the Fed's rate cut path, while fluctuations in U.S. Treasury yields dominate the short-term direction of gold prices. This week focuses on the Fed's meeting minutes, PMI data, and Powell's speech at Jackson Hole, with policy divergences increasing market uncertainty. The technical outlook shows gold prices trapped in a neutral zone, with $3,355-$3,360 becoming a key pivot. Crypto market investors need to follow the potential correlation between gold as a traditional safe-haven asset and crypto assets (especially Bitcoin), managing positions ahead of macro risk events.
