The post Tom Lee Explains Why Gold Is Soaring While Bitcoin Struggles appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Speaking on CNBC, BitMine CEO Tom Lee explained why gold prices have risen strongly while Bitcoin has struggled. He said metals are moving higher due to a weak U.S. dollar and strong global demand. 

At the same time, the crypto market remains under pressure and has not been able to keep up with gold’s rally.

Tom Lee on Gold Rally and Dollar Weakness

According to the interview aired this week, Tom Lee said the recent surge in gold and silver was one of the most surprising trades of the year. He said strong momentum, investor demand, and global uncertainty have all pushed precious metals higher.

He explained that the U.S. dollar remains under pressure as global growth improves and the Federal Reserve stays cautious on rate cuts. A weaker dollar usually supports hard assets, which is why gold has continued to climb. 

Lee added that in some regions, especially in China, demand has been unusually strong, with certain silver ETFs actually trading at high premiums.

Why Crypto Is Not Keeping Up With Gold

Futher when asked about seeing strong momentum in precious metals, but not as much in cryptocurrencies.

Despite similar market conditions, Lee said crypto has failed to benefit from the same situational, even while considered as a haven.

Each time crypto prices attempted to recover, new shocks forced traders to reduce risk again. This has kept confidence low and slowed any sustained rebound.

Investor Money Will Now Shift To Bitcoin

Market history shows that when gold prices peak and start to fall, investors often move their money into Bitcoin. This pattern was seen in 2017 and 2021. After gold lost momentum in those years, Bitcoin rallied strongly, jumping nearly 1000% in 2017 and around 400% in 2021.

Recently, gold appears to have reached a top again. Prices fell from around $5,600 to nearly $4,892, a drop of about 13%

Such a pullback often signals that the strong gold rally may be slowing down. When this happens, the crypto market tends to rally hard.

FAQs

Why are gold prices rising while Bitcoin is struggling?

Gold is benefiting from a weak U.S. dollar, strong global demand, and safe-haven buying, while Bitcoin is still recovering from past market shocks.

Why hasn’t Bitcoin reacted like gold to dollar weakness?

According to Lee, crypto confidence remains low after repeated sell-offs, with traders cutting risk whenever new market shocks appear.

Could money rotate from gold into Bitcoin next?

Historically, when gold peaks and pulls back, investors often shift into Bitcoin, which has led to strong crypto rallies in past cycles.

PayPal Expands to Nine New Chains & Metamask Token Confirmed

PayPal Expands to Nine New Chains & Metamask Token Confirmed

The post PayPal Expands to Nine New Chains & Metamask Token Confirmed appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. PayPal’s US dollar-backed stablecoin – $PYUSD – is going permissionless and multichain across nine blockchains. Meanwhile, MetaMask, the world’s leading self-custody wallet, is finally entering the token game. With crypto adoption on the rise, now’s a great time to consider $BEST. The reason is that it’s the native token of Best Wallet, a non-custodial crypto app built for the next wave of digital asset growth. $PYUSD Set to Launch Across Avalanche, Sei, Abstract $PYUSD currently supports Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, and Stellar. However, its permissionless upgrade, $PYUSD0, will expand its reach across numerous chains: Avalanche, Sei, Abstract, Ink, Stable, Tron, Berachain, and Flow. In doing so, $PYUSD0 can reach the most demanding markets. Plus, users who want to gain faster access to the stablecoin can do so without relying on banks and without relying on platforms like Venmo or PayPal. ‘By working together [with LayerZero], we will enable PYUSD to reach new markets faster while maintaining compliance and composability from day one.’ — David Weber, Head of Ecosystem, PayPal USD. The market’s already reacting to the expansion with intense enthusiasm. Since the news broke out, $PYUSD’s market cap has surpassed $1.3B for the first time. And it’s not the only major crypto move that PayPal has recently made. Earlier this week, it also announced that it’ll soon expand peer-to-peer crypto payments through its new Links feature. Source: X (PayPal) It’ll enable you to move digital assets like $PYUSD, BTC, and $ETH through easily shareable payment links via texts, direct messages, or emails. Its ultimate aim?
