#数字资产市场动态 🔥Gold has surged by $4600, so why is Bitcoin falling behind?

Recently, an interesting phenomenon has emerged: Trump and Powell publicly clashing, with the Federal Reserve Chair directly accusing the former president of pressure, leading to increased turmoil in U.S. politics. Against this backdrop, gold has defied the trend and taken off. After Powell’s video was released, gold prices soared nearly 3%, breaking the $4600 mark.

What is the deeper logic behind this? Global central banks are frantically hoarding gold. From a monthly purchase of 800 tons at the beginning of last year, it skyrocketed to nearly 2000 tons by the end of the year—more than doubling. This is not retail investor behavior; it’s a signal of national-level asset transfer. The reason gold remains popular is simple: it is not tied to any regime, immune to sanctions, and has no counterparty risk. The more chaotic the geopolitical situation, the more valuable hard assets become.

In contrast, $BTC ’s situation is a bit awkward. Theoretically, the Federal Reserve’s liquidity injections and a 10% annual increase in M2 are positive factors that should push up Bitcoin. Moreover, the current regime system is actually the one promoting Bitcoin’s legalization. But what about reality? Bitcoin is still 23% below its all-time high, and long-term holders and institutions are actually net sellers. The contradiction lies here: the system that creates instability and should boost hard assets is also the force that grants Bitcoin legitimacy. Seemingly decentralized Bitcoin is increasingly dependent on the existing financial system.

So when the world is in chaos, do you bet more on code or on that piece of gold with a thousand-year heritage? $TAO $LTC Both are here. Share your thoughts in the comments. 👇
