Cryptocurrencies Will Start Rising After the Gold and Silver Market Cools Down
Tom Lee, head of the largest Ethereum treasury company BitMine, believes that cryptocurrencies will begin to rise in price after the gold and silver market cools down.
Digital assets are expected to increase in value due to a weakening dollar and the easing of U.S. federal monetary policy. However, there is currently no momentum in the cryptocurrency market because gold and silver prices are rising, and investors prone to fear of missing out are buying precious metals instead of digital assets.
When the bullish rally in the gold and silver markets comes to a halt, the prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum will move higher, as has happened before, Lee said.
Tom’s view is supported by statistics showing that stablecoin market capitalization has declined by $2.2 billion over the past 10 days. At the same time, there has been a rapid increase in the value of XAU and XAG, leading Happy Coin News analyst Yuri Savelyev to believe that capital is migrating from the crypto industry to the precious metals market in January.
Accordingly, once the price pump in gold and silver ends, funds should return to the digital asset sector, and their prices will rise due to an inflow of investment.
Speaking of precious metals, it is worth noting that on January 26, XAU and XAG reached new all-time highs. Gold rose to $5,112 per ounce, while silver climbed to $118. Precious metals are in demand primarily due to rising geopolitical tensions worldwide and the weakening of the dollar, which Lee mentioned.
