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.

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.
