Gold price to reach new highs in 2026: Goldman poll Almost 70% of global institutional investors expect gold prices to post additional gains next year, Goldman Sachs said, citing the conclusions of a new poll. The biggest proportion of respondents — 36% — think gold will top $5,000 per oz. by the end of 2026, New York-based Goldman said Friday. Another third of participants said they expect the precious metal to trade between $4,500 and $5,000 over the same timeframe, while just over 5% of those polled see prices dropping to between $3,500 and $4,000. https://lnkd.in/gbwweyFX

Liquidity is a Technical Problem, Not a Financial One. In the Japan-Europe corridor, the bridge often fails at the "Due Diligence" stage. Not because the assets lack value, but because they lack Institutional Alignment. ECI HQ is now active.

What are stablecoins and are they as revolutionary as the "crypto bros" would have you believe? The answer is: yes. I'll explain. The Trump administration, for all of its chaos, has succeeded in ensuring that stablecoins will become a mainstream component of the global financial system. They will expedite transactions and cut costs especially for cross border transactions. Let's say Japan buys a cargo of U.S. liquid natural gas (LNG), they can pay for it in stablecoins and the seller gets their money instantly where it takes days to settle such a trade currently. It also removes the vagaries of currency fluctuations which you can imagine matters to a global corporation with operations and payments all over the world. Ordinary citizens can trade using stablecoins also. Kudos to Nashvillian and U.S. Senator Bill Hagerty for sponsoring the GENIUS Act which establishes a regulatory framework for stablecoins. His legislation created a system that is not under US government control - unlike China's Central Bank Digital Currency or CBDC which the government allegedly uses to keep citizens in line. Act up and you don't get your money. Stable coins must be backed dollar for dollar by treasury bonds, but issuers have to maintain compliance with regulatory authorities. Importantly, stablecoins will increase demand for U.S. treasuries at a time when the deficit is exploding and global demand for treasuries is waning. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trump see stablecoins increasing demand for US treasury bills. The stablecoin market is expected to grow exponentially in the next decade, and with it comes a massive new buyer of treasury debt. Reach out if you have questions...

#silver Spread between Comex Silver (paper market) and Shanghai Silver (physical market) is now over $10/oz This is crazy It should be cents due to Arbitrage There is a relentless demand for physical and the Comex price will rise because there is not enough metal in the exchange registered category to meet delivery requirements to bridge arbitrage gap

Why a Crypto Giant Is Buying Gold Tether has accumulated over 116 tons of physical gold, more than the reserves of several nations. This move highlights a simple reality: long-term trust still relies on assets that cannot be printed, erased, or rewritten by policy. Even in a digital future, gold remains a foundational store of value. #USDT #gold #money #investing #fyp

America is firmly on track to become the #cryptocapital of the world following Crypto Week with historical record-breaking House votes passing a trifecta of crypto bills. “A trifecta of bills cleared the House this week all eyes were on the U.S. as they made decisive moves to enact pro-innovation rules, and the first ever piece of crypto specific legislation in the history of the nation,” Elise Soucie Watts, Global Digital Finance “Crypto Week may be the clearest signal yet that the U.S. is ready to lead the global digital asset race. When the U.S. government, through House leadership, formally declares Crypto Week and advances landmark legislation, it signals more than symbolic support. It marks a structural shift," Shibtoshi SG, SquidGrow and SilentSwap "Stablecoins, for example, form an important part of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, and formal recognition will accelerate institutional adoption and retail interest. We expect these developments will have a positive ripple effect across the industry,” Jason W. “Compliance is a necessary component of every industry, and crypto is no exception. A robust compliance regime forms the foundation of a trust-building exercise, allowing new users to explore products and services in a safe and secure environment. The three crypto bills pave the way toward a compliant digital financial ecosystem,” Zain Zaidi, TransCrypts “Bitcoin safely positioned itself as a reliable macro asset and a hedge against fiscal indiscipline, bolstering the crypto industry’s resilience and stability before the Crypto Week. Its price appreciation can be attributed to two things 1) regulatory clarity from the Trump administration and 2) strong investor confidence resulting from that clear regulatory landscape,” CK Zheng Forbes Crypto Forbes

🚀 Dogecoin (DOGE) — TokenIQ Fundamental Valuation Report Dogecoin began as a lighthearted fork of Litecoin in 2013. Today, it stands as one of the most recognized cryptocurrencies worldwide — a symbol of retail participation and cultural adoption. 🧩 Quick Verdict: Dogecoin remains a cultural asset rather than a financial one. Its fundamentals show limited technological progress, inflationary tokenomics, and weak developer traction, yet its liquidity and narrative strength keep it relevant. Dogecoin’s valuation depends almost entirely on social sentiment and retail momentum — a reminder that in crypto, narratives can move markets faster than fundamentals. #Dogecoin #TokenIQScore #CryptoValuation #BlockchainResearch #InvestmentOutlook #CryptoAnalysis #MemeCoin #DigitalAssets #OnChainData #CryptoInvesting

President Donald Trump endorsed the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as the primary regulator for prediction markets, supporting the agency amid escalating legal disputes with several states regarding oversight of the fast-growing sector. The stance reinforces the administration's pro-industry approach as companies, including Kalshi and Polymarket, face challenges from state regulators with regard to laws on gambling and derivatives.

Gemini is preparing to launch federally regulated prediction markets under its proposed Gemini Titan exchange, pending approval from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The platform would offer event-based contracts tied to real-world outcomes such as elections or economic data, aiming to integrate prediction markets into mainstream finance. If approved, Gemini Titan would be among the first US-regulated venues for event contracts, expanding transparency and investor access.
