Analysis: The cryptocurrency and precious metals markets are exhibiting a rare "divergent trend," which may not be solely driven by risk aversion.

Forbes reports, since reaching a historical high in October, Bitcoin and the overall crypto assets have experienced a significant decline. Bitcoin's price is currently hovering around $90,000 per coin, down from the all-time high of $126,000, while gold, silver, and U.S. stocks have accelerated upward towards the end of the year. The market has shown a rare "split trend," which is not simply driven by risk aversion sentiment but is more likely a "strategic response" by institutions and funds to the global monetary system.Ramnivas Mundada, head of economic and corporate research at GlobalData, expects that with central banks worldwide continuously adjusting reserve structures and reducing reliance on dollar assets, the de-dollarization process will accelerate. Gold may further increase by 8%-15% in 2026, while silver could rise by 20%-35%.
