$XAU Gold has surged near record highs as a risk-off safe haven, pulling capital away from volatile assets. In contrast, Bitcoin and altcoins have lagged, behaving more like risk-on assets during uncertainty.
This divergence shows gold still outperforms crypto in geopolitical and macro stress phases. Some institutions now treat gold + BTC as complementary hedges, not direct substitutes. For crypto traders, strong gold usually signals defensive positioning and delayed altcoin rallies.
