سعر Storm WarfareJAN

On the eve of what U.S. President Donald Trump has called “liberation day,” the price of gold reached a new milestone of $3,117 per ounce. This came just days after the precious metal surpassed the $3,100 mark, fueling optimism among gold proponents. Gold’s attractiveness amid trade war fears, which have weighed on traditional assets and even bitcoin ( BTC), has prompted Goldman Sachs to revise its year-end price prediction upward. As reported by Reuters, the investment bank raised its forecast range to $3,250-$3,520 from $3,100-$3,300. Goldman Sachs attributes the change to aggressive gold purchases by Asian central banks, a trend it expects to continue for the next three to six years. It also cites stronger-than-expected gold exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows as another reason for the upward revision. The apparent change in investors’ stance on gold contrasts with their perception of BTC, particularly after Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20. While gold’s latest milestone brings its year-to-date gain to 22%, BTC’s slide from its Trump inauguration day peak of nearly $109,000 to just under $83,000 on March 31 means it ended the first quarter of 2025 approximately 23% in the red. This Q1 performance by digital assets, seen by some as a safe-haven asset, has emboldened critics who reject the notion that BTC is digital gold. The fact that BTC has seemingly wavered each time Trump has threatened or imposed tariffs on the U.S.’s main trade partners lends credence to their argument. However, despite this seeming correlation with traditional assets, bitcoin proponents insist the crypto asset’s first-quarter performance does not undermine its digital gold status. This sentiment is shared by experts interviewed by Bitcoin.com News, including Rena Shah, COO of Trust Machines. According to Shah, while gold might have retained its safe-haven status, Bitcoin is the “only asset you’ll never sell.” The COO also pointed to how BTC continues to outperform other assets since the launch of bitcoin ETFs. “Bitcoin is punching above its weight, as a younger asset class compared to legacy ETFs, like gold. Whether you hold bitcoin as a hedge against market uncertainty or are waiting for the right reentry point, Bitcoin is evolving to offer so much more than gold can,” Shah said. Ben Caselin, CMO at African cryptocurrency exchange VALR, said the prospect of countries and central banks adding BTC to their treasuries signals the start of a country-level game theory. Caselin also cites countries stocking up on gold as indicating better times ahead for BTC. “We cannot rule out that these movements are due to game theory around Bitcoin, with the rally in gold acting as a precursor for an explosion in bitcoin acquisition,” Caselin said. Mithil Thakore, CEO of Velar, told Bitcoin.com News that he disagrees with the notion that Bitcoin has lost its digital gold status. Instead, he argued that BTC has become “more important than ever, both in terms of perception and practical adoption.” To support this viewpoint, Thakore pointed to the adoption of BTC by institutions and its proven staying power. Regarding what the rising interest in gold means for BTC, the Velar CEO said: “Renewed interest in gold actually supports Bitcoin’s value proposition. Both assets are responding to macroeconomic instability, inflation concerns, and growing distrust in fiat systems.” Luke Xie, co-founder and CEO of Satlayer, suggested that gold’s rally could be temporary, fueled by “short-term safe-haven inflows amid global uncertainty.” This contrasts with BTC, whose value proposition is “anchored in its finite supply, decentralized network, and ever-growing adoption.” Xie also highlighted how bitcoin’s gold status is boosted by technological advancements, something that cannot be said of gold. “In essence, rather than losing its ‘digital gold’ status, Bitcoin is evolving—bolstered by technological advancements and strategic initiatives like BTCfi—that underscore its complementary and superior role in modern portfolio construction,” the Satlayer CEO said. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Something interesting to note is that $ETH taking its key level initiated the sell program and vicious dump back in Jan... wonder if MMs have a mirrored playbook setting up here...

When the calendar turned to Jan. 1, 2025, the crypto economy shined at $3.27 trillion; today, it dims to $2.66 trillion, pared by over half a trillion dollars. Still, a modest 15 cryptocurrencies bucked the bearish tide, notching gains from a moderate 1% to FORM’s triple-digit 457.5% rise. The latter’s metamorphosis from $0.40 to $2.23 per unit crowns it the year’s unrivaled champion so far. Four (FORM) has been 2025’s top gainer so far. Meanwhile, onyxcoin (XCN) claims the silver medal, sprinting ahead by 343.5% as its price leapt from $0.00232 to $0.01029 per unit—a testament to market resilience in an otherwise frigid ecosystem. Claiming the bronze position, ultima (ULTIMA) now commands a valuation of $19,124 per token—a 173.6% escalation from its Jan. 1, 2025, price of $6,989. Artemis Terminal data reveals stablecoins as 2025’s dominant force in an otherwise beleaguered cryptoverse, where most sectors languished in retreat from Jan. 1 valuations—though a select few sectors weathered the storm with comparative poise. Privacy coins, real-world asset (RWA) tokens, and exchange tokens somewhat defied the downtrend. The year’s most precipitous tumbles include virtuals protocol (VIRTUAL), which briefly soared to a historic peak on Jan. 2 before cascading 88.1% from its $5.07 zenith to a meager $0.60. The meme token dogwifhat (WIF) spiraled 75.38%, thorchain (RUNE) relinquished 75.17%, and the meme coin brett (BRETT) hemorrhaged 74.13% since January’s opening bell. Meme coins bore some of the harshest tolls in 2025: $76.60 billion—12.56% of the sector’s total $610 billion evaporation—vanished from their niche. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Donald Trump made history as the first U.S. president to debut an official meme coin, TRUMP, on Jan. 17, 2025—three days prior to his swearing-in ceremony. Notably, Melania Trump followed with her own digital asset, MELANIA, unveiled on Jan. 19, 2025, a mere 24 hours ahead of the presidential inauguration. As of publication, the circulating supply of TRUMP tokens stands at 199,999,976, representing a fraction of the total fixed supply, which is capped at 1,000,000,000 coins. The leading external holder of TRUMP tokens, excluding the project, is Binance, which notably commands 25,151,426 TRUMP—equivalent to 12.58% of the circulating supply—on its exchange platform. OFFICIAL TRUMP/USD via Coinbase on March 29, 2025. Following Binance, a pseudonymous entity holds 16,034,161 TRUMP—8.02% of the circulating supply—within a single Solana account. The token’s creator or issuing entity retains 15,019,350 TRUMP, accounting for 7.51% of the 199,999,976 tokens in circulation. A separate Binance wallet holds roughly 15,000,000 TRUMP, comprising 7.5% of the total circulating within the cryptosphere. MELANIA/USD via Bitstamp on March 29, 2025. Since its debut, TRUMP holders have faced challenges, as the asset has plummeted 85.9% from its peak value of $73.43. Presently, TRUMP fluctuates between $9.85 and $11.25 per token relative to its seven-day simple moving average (SMA). The presidentially themed meme coin asset now boasts a market capitalization just exceeding $2 billion. MELANIA has similarly retreated, losing 95.1% of its value from its all-time peak of $13.05. Presently, the token exchanges hands at $0.61 per coin, with 150,000,000 coins in circulation. This calculates to a market capitalization just shy of $100 million—$95,250,797, to be precise. Meteora’s MELANIA-USDC liquidity pool commands the largest share of MELANIA tokens outside the project’s team allocation, holding 105,613,966 coins (70.41% of the current circulating supply). This steep decline likely stems from waning enthusiasm for meme coins amid broader market downturns. Notably, meme-centric assets have experienced disproportionately severe declines compared to other sectors during the recent crypto-market correction. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。
