Precious metals are soaring higher, with silver doubling this year and gold reclaiming momentum as investors bet on imminent rate cuts and a weaker dollar.
At the same time, crypto markets are slogging through their sharpest downturn since 2022, shedding over a trillion dollars in value and testing the conviction of short-term traders. The contrast has sparked a growing question: are metals simply early movers in a broader shift toward easier monetary conditions, or has crypto lost its appeal as a macro hedge?
ETF outflows and rising on-chain losses show real stress in digital assets, yet institutional holdings remain surprisingly resilient. As silver breaks records and Bitcoin struggles to find a floor, investors are watching closely for the moment liquidity turns—and whether crypto will follow metals into its next cycle.
