Fundstrat’s Tom Lee said crypto markets are being overshadowed by record gold and silver prices, but predicts a surge will come once precious metals' rally takes a pause.
Gold News

Gold, a precious metal revered for centuries, holds an enduring appeal due to its rarity, beauty and intrinsic value. Throughout history, gold served as hard money, a term denoting currency backed by tangible assets, ensuring stability. Unlike fiat currencies, which derive value from government decree, gold’s value is intrinsic, making it a reliable medium of exchange and store of wealth.
Historically, various civilizations used gold coins for trade, establishing its universal acceptance. Gold-backed currencies provided economic stability, linking the value of money to a specific amount of gold. This system mitigated inflation risks, fostering trust in financial systems.
In contemporary finance, gold remains a reliable store of value, offering protection against economic uncertainties. Investors turn to gold during market downturns, reinforcing its status as a safe-haven asset. Additionally, the rise of cryptocurrencies led to Bitcoin (BTC) being dubbed “digital gold.” Bitcoin shares similarities with gold, such as scarcity and properties that make it a hard asset. Investors often correlate BTC with gold, highlighting its potential as a modern store of value.
