The post Exclusive: Bitcoin and Gold Converge in Record-Breaking Rally, Expert Explains Why appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The crypto and commodities markets lit up over the weekend as both Bitcoin and gold hit fresh all-time highs. Bitcoin surged past $125,000 for the first time on October 5, pushing its market cap above $2.5 trillion, while gold climbed to a record $3,976 per ounce on October 7, nearing the critical $4,000 mark.

The rally came during a tense period marked by government shutdown concerns and broader economic unease. Despite the turbulence, both assets saw massive inflows, with more than $80 billion worth of crypto shorts liquidated as traders rushed to cover their positions.

Even with no major new purchases from big players like Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy last week, Bitcoin’s continued rise shows strong community support and increasing institutional participation. Gold’s rally is equally remarkable as the metal has gained nearly 47% year-to-date.

Experts See Convergence Between Bitcoin and Gold

In an interview with Coinpedia, Juan Leon, Senior Strategist at Bitwise, said Bitcoin’s volatility is now converging with gold’s—a sign that the cryptocurrency is maturing as an asset.

According to Leon, this change carries three major implications:

  • Reduced Speculation: Lower volatility shows that short-term traders are giving way to long-term holders.
  • Institutional Appeal: A steadier Bitcoin is more suitable for large funds, pensions, and endowments that prioritize capital preservation.
  • Store of Value Strength: As volatility falls, Bitcoin becomes a more reliable hedge against inflation and currency debasement.

“The convergence of Bitcoin’s volatility with that of gold is a critical indicator of its maturation as an asset. For professional investors, this trend has several key implications for its role as a store of value,” Leon said.

As gold and Bitcoin continue to climb together, one thing is clear—investors are rethinking what it means to own “safe-haven” assets in a rapidly changing financial world.

Ethereum Fusaka Upgrade Set To Redefine ETH Performance — Here’s What to Expect

Ethereum Fusaka Upgrade Set To Redefine ETH Performance — Here’s What to Expect

Ethereum is entering its next phase of evolution with the Fusaka upgrade. With more than just another technical iteration, Fusaka represents a major step toward solving Ethereum’s long-standing scalability and efficiency challenges. Why Fusaka Matters For Ethereum’s Next Era Of Decentralized Innovation Crypto markets are buzzing with the anticipation of the Ethereum Fusaka Upgrade. According to the CryptosRus post on X, VanEck has mentioned that the upcoming Fusaka upgrade, expected in December, could unlock one of the most transformative moments in the network’s history, making ETH faster, cheaper, and more scalable than ever before. Related Reading: Big Move: Ethereum Foundation Trades $4.5M ETH For Stable Assets The Fusaka upgrade will introduce PeerDAS (Peer Data Availability Sampling), a breakthrough that allows validators to verify blocks without downloading them in full. This innovation will significantly improve efficiency, increase blob capacity, enhance throughput for rollups, and reduce transaction costs for users across the ecosystem. As CryptosRus explains, the best way to imagine this is like ETH upgrading its plumbing, resulting in cheaper and faster operation for everyone using the network. However, VanEck believes Fusaka could be a game-changer, especially for rollups such as Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base, which depend on ETH for settlement. By reducing data overhead and optimizing block verification, the upgrade strengthens ETH’s foundation as the global base layer for crypto’s financial infrastructure. Furthermore, as network fees drop, ETH’s monetary importance rises. VanEck also believes that ETH is evolving from a simple gas token into the settlement currency of the entire rollup economy. Fusaka represents the next major phase in ETH’s journey, transforming it from a programmable chain into the financial backbone of Web3, ready to power the next wave of global digital finance. Analyst Tom Tucker shared his thoughts that Ethereum might be on track for a revolution. If the price continues to follow a pattern correlated with this increase in global money supply (M2) liquidity, it could climb to $15,000. Tucker highlights that the rapid increase in M2 is causing Fiat money to lose value fast, and ETH is being viewed as a smart hedge against global monetary debasement. “Doubters are gonna doubt, but this looks like a solid opportunity to me,” the expert noted. The Hidden Correlation Fueling ETH’s Next Rally Ethereum’s path to a new all-time high may be building faster than many in the market are expecting. Economist trader known as MikybullCrypto highlighted that the Russell index, which measures the performance of small-cap US stocks and tends to track the credit cycle, has just broken a new all-time high for the first time in four years.  Related Reading: Global M2 Money Supply Says Ethereum Price Will Reach $20,000, Here’s When The trader noted that ETH has maintained a positive correlation with the Russell 2000 cycle. In addition, this historical breakout indicates a fresh wave of capital rotation into ETH and the broader altcoin market. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
