As the dollar weakens, investors are turning to gold — onchain and off — while Bitcoin increasingly plays a supporting role in hedging currency risk. Bitcoin (BTC) has long been promoted by its most ardent supporters as a hedge against monetary debasement, but as the US dollar slides to multi-year lows, the market’s clearest flight to safety is emerging elsewhere: in gold. Over the past year, investors have rediscovered the precious metal through both traditional channels and blockchain rails. Tokenized gold products like XAUt are gaining traction alongside spot prices, offering digital-native exposure to a centuries-old safe haven as inflation concerns and currency stress intensify. Bitcoin is still very much in the picture, though increasingly as a secondary beneficiary. Actively managed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are pairing BTC with gold as complementary defenses against fiat erosion, positioning Bitcoin less as a proven hedge and more as a higher-volatility companion to hard assets.

A wave of leveraged liquidations erased hundreds of billions in value, reshuffling Bitcoin’s standing among the world’s largest investable assets. Bitcoin’s sharp reversal this week has pushed it outside the world’s 10 largest assets by market capitalization, underscoring how difficult price action has been in recent months as markets continue to digest the cryptocurrency industry’s largest forced liquidation on record. Hovering around $83,000 per coin, Bitcoin’s (BTC) market capitalization has slipped to about $1.65 trillion, ranking it 11th globally. That places it just behind Saudi Aramco, the state-run oil giant, and below Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), according to market data trackers. By contrast, gold has surged to the top spot by a wide margin following a record-breaking rally, cementing its position as the world’s largest asset. The gains have been accompanied by explosive growth in gold futures activity, a trend highlighted in recent data by cryptocurrency exchange MEXC. Read more

The shift will take Binance’s insurance-style fund out of US dollar-pegged assets and into Bitcoin within 30 days, raising questions about user protection. Binance is shifting its flagship user protection vehicle, the Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU), from stablecoin holdings into Bitcoin over the next 30 days, re‑denominating the fund’s reserves into BTC. In an open letter to the crypto community, the exchange framed the move as an expression of its conviction that Bitcoin (BTC) is the core long‑term asset of the crypto ecosystem rather than just another trading product, and said it will rebalance the fund back up to $1 billion if market volatility drives its value below $800 million.  That decision effectively makes the fund more exposed to Bitcoin price swings, raising questions about whether a sharp BTC drawdown could weaken the buffer precisely when a major security or insolvency event might require rapid payouts.

Bitcoiners hoping for a big rotation from gold and silver might be chasing the wrong signal, says Benjamin Cowen.
