Market Alert: Gold & US Stocks Flash “Bubble” Warning

The BIS warns that both gold and U.S. equities — driven heavily by retail investors — are showing signs of bubble-like behavior for the first time in decades.

Gold rally: Gold is up ≈ 60% in 2025, its strongest annual performance since 1979.

Stocks surge: U.S. stock indexes, buoyed by big-tech and AI optimism, have soared — with heavy retail inflows fueling the move.

Retail-led frenzy: The BIS notes that recent inflows largely come from retail investors, not institutions — raising the risk of “herd behavior.”

Gold loses “safe-haven” tag: What was traditionally seen as a safe-haven asset is behaving like a high-risk speculative asset.

Double-asset bubble risk: Rare simultaneous surges in both gold and equities raise the chances of a systemic correction — if sentiment reverses, both markets could tumble.

Volatility ahead: Heavy retail participation — often less informed and more emotionally driven — can amplify swings, making markets more fragile.

Safe-haven hedge may not hold: If gold and stocks collapse together, traditional hedges may fail — leaving investors exposed when risk sentiment shifts.

Retail flows & fund premium: Watch ETF premiums over NAV — a sign of over-buying pressure.

Macro triggers: Rate cuts, economic slowdowns, or AI-sector disappointments could spark a reversal.

Market breadth: If only a handful of sectors/stocks carry the rally — warning sign.

🟡 Major Drill Breakthrough: New High-Grade Zone at Wenot deposit, Guyana

Omai Gold Mines has released fresh drill results from its 100%-owned project in Guyana, revealing a brand new high-grade gold zone at the Wenot deposit — including a standout intercept of 11.07 g/t Au over 14.7 m (with 4.3 m at 34.31 g/t Au) from hole 25ODD-142 at East Wenot.

Additional strong results include:

13.54 g/t Au over 13.3 m in central Wenot (hole 25ODD-145W).

Multiple wide zones drilled in 2025: total of 79 holes (35,300 m) completed to date.

The new zone lies east of the historically mined area — suggesting expansion of mineralization beyond past limits.

The results support the potential for a robust open-pit mine plan, with upgraded resource estimates and possibly improved economics ahead of the upcoming resource update and PEA.

This discovery demonstrates that the former producing project still harbors significant untapped gold resources. The new high-grade zones could dramatically increase the resource base and push the project closer to production — potentially reviving what was once one of South America’s largest gold camps.

🟡 Gold Price Boom Sparks Potential New Mine in Nunavut

Canada’s Arctic territory, Nunavut, may soon see a brand-new gold mine as soaring global gold prices make previously costly operations financially attractive again

Gold prices have surged nearly 60% in the past year, dramatically improving project economics.

Agnico Eagle is reassessing its Hope Bay Project, which could return to active development as early as next year.

Higher prices also extend the life of existing operations like the Meadowbank Mine by making lower-grade ore profitable.

The region’s harsh Arctic environment usually pushes costs high — but current gold prices offset those challenges.

The gold rally is reshaping project viability in Canada’s North, potentially leading to new investment, renewed exploration, and long-term economic benefits for Nunavut.

🟡 Gold Royalty Secures Pedra Branca Mine Royalty in $70M Deal

Gold Royalty Corp. has officially signed an agreement to acquire the royalty interest on Brazil’s Pedra Branca copper-gold mine from BlackRock’s World Mining Trust for $70 million in cash.

The deal includes a 25% NSR royalty on gold and a 2% NSR royalty on copper from the Pedra Branca mine.

Pedra Branca is an active, producing mine located in Brazil’s renowned Carajás mining region.

The royalty generated approximately $7.9M over the past 12 months, equal to roughly 2,800 gold-equivalent ounces.

Gold Royalty expects royalty payments to begin after Dec 31, 2025, adding immediate future cash-flow strength.

This acquisition significantly boosts Gold Royalty’s cash-flowing assets and deepens its exposure to both gold and copper—strengthening long-term portfolio value.

Binance Picks Abu Dhabi — Crypto Giant May Finally Settle on a HQ 🏙️

After years of being “nomadic,” Binance appears to have chosen Abu Dhabi (UAE) as its global home base — securing full financial licenses under Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), covering exchange, clearinghouse and broker-dealer services.

Binance obtained three global financial licenses in Abu Dhabi: exchange, clearinghouse, and broker-dealer.

Co-CEO Richard Teng said this marks where Binance’s “global platform will be regulated” — implying regulatory HQ tilt toward Abu Dhabi.

Binance also maintains a strong presence in UAE, including prior licenses and key investments — giving Abu Dhabi regulatory + operational advantages.

This could be a major turning point: a fixed HQ under a respected regulator may improve Binance’s global compliance credibility, possibly attracting more institutional interest — but might also draw sharper regulatory scrutiny from global jurisdictions.

Crypto Gambling Forums Surge Down Under — Aussies Flock to Blockchain Betting in 2025

In 2025, Australians are increasingly turning to crypto gambling forums for info on Web3 casinos, blockchain betting, and metaverse wagering — making these forums one of Australia’s most active crypto discussion hubs.

Crypto gambling forums have become go-to spaces for Aussies exploring blockchain casinos, crypto-based betting, and Web3 gaming platforms.

The global crypto gambling market is booming, expected to hit US $81 billion in 2025, helping fuel interest from Australian users.

Players highlight benefits: faster payouts, anonymity, provably-fair games, and crypto-native mechanics — advantages over traditional gambling.

As regulations lag and traditional gambling offers fade, crypto casinos + forums are filling the gap — but rapid growth means users face high volatility, legal grey zones, and elevated risk. This year marks a turning point: crypto-gambling isn’t fringe anymore — it’s becoming mainstream in Australia’s digital leisure market.

BTC · ETH · XRP · SOL — Market Eyes Volatility as Charts Point to Range Plays & Key Support Tests

Bitcoin and Ethereum show counter-trend consolidation, XRP hovers around critical support near $2, and Solana remains range-bound as traders brace for volatile moves.

XRP is trading close to its pivotal $2 support — a break could trigger sharper downside.

SOL is showing little directional bias — price action remains range-bound for now.

BTC and ETH continue counter-trend moves: consolidation could precede a breakout or breakdown, depending on overall market sentiment.

With momentum unclear and support levels hanging in the balance, traders should brace for swings. XRP’s close proximity to $2 could offer both entry or exit points — while BTC/ETH and SOL may chop within a range until a strong catalyst emerges.

India’s Gold ETF Inflows Slow to US $379 M in November — Down 55% MoM

Net inflows into Indian gold ETFs dropped sharply in November, falling to $379 million — a 55% drop compared with October — even as 2025 remains on track for record yearly flows.

November inflows: US $379 million, down 55% from October.

2025 YTD inflows reached ≈ US $3.43 billion, the highest on record for a calendar year.

The drop in flows comes amid softer global demand — reflecting cooling safe‑haven interest, profit‑booking and shifting expectations on global monetary policy.

Though inflows dipped, the strong 2025 trend shows gold ETFs remain a core hedge for Indian investors — but near‑term momentum may depend on global risk sentiment and central‑bank moves.

Bitcoin Wallets Hit with “High-Risk” Tags — Compliance Bots Flag Mixer Protocol Users

Wallets that have interacted with a certain privacy/mixer protocol are now being automatically marked as “high-risk” by compliance algorithms at major exchanges — raising the risk of freezes or seizures for users, even if activity was legitimate.

Exchanges such as those under EU licensing regimes now classify funds linked to mixer-protocol transactions as potential money-laundering risk — triggering automated freezes or blocked withdrawals.

This compliance push comes amid a broader crackdown on mixers and privacy tools by European authorities, who treat mixer-linked UTXOs as “tainted” and high-risk under new AML frameworks.

The shift is affecting both centralized mixers and decentralized/co-operative privacy solutions: even “coinjoin” or collaborative privacy tools are being flagged — sometimes leading to false positives and freezing of funds for benign users.

This marks a structural shift: compliance algorithms now scan protocol-level fingerprints — not user intent. For anyone seeking privacy with Bitcoin, this raises the stakes: using a mixer or privacy tool may erase privacy but instead trigger regulatory suspicion.

SEC Targets Privacy Coins — Zcash Faces “Do-or-Die” Moment as Developers Risk Liability

U.S. SEC will hold a decisive Dec. 15 roundtable that could determine whether privacy-protocol developers — including Zcash — can be held personally liable for the code they write, shaking confidence across privacy-coin markets.

The SEC’s crypto task-force will debate whether privacy tools like Zcash, Tornado-style mixers, and ZK protocols violate AML expectations.

Recent cases (Samourai Wallet & Tornado Cash dev prosecutions) raised fears that writing privacy code = criminal liability.

Market sentiment turned cautious today as traders await clarity; privacy-coin volatility remains elevated.

Regulators are signalling that privacy without compliance may not survive in the U.S. — making this meeting a potential pivot point for all privacy tokens.

Kuwait Gold Surges to KD 41.23/g — Bullish Sentiment Heats Up

Local demand and global uncertainty pushed 24-karat gold in Kuwait to KD 41.23 per gram last week, as gold’s safe-haven appeal strengthens.

24-karat gold hit KD 41.23/g (~US $135); 22-karat traded at about KD 37.38/g (~US $123).

In global markets, gold recently closed near US $4,198/oz, buoyed by expectations of US interest-rate cuts and rising geopolitical risks.

The surge is driven by safe-haven demand amid global economic uncertainty and potential policy shifts, boosting gold’s global — and local Gulf — appeal.

With both local and global drivers aligning — rate-cut hopes, macro uncertainty, and regional demand — Kuwaiti gold buyers (and Middle-East investors) may continue to view gold as a hedge, pushing prices higher in the short term.

Gold (XAUUSD) Eyes Volatility as FOMC Looms – Key Levels to Watch

Markets brace for swings in gold prices ahead of the next FOMC meeting. Traders are watching key support and resistance zones while anticipating whether the Fed will signal rate cuts or maintain a hawkish stance.

Spot gold (XAUUSD) currently trades around US $4,198.68/oz.

Bullish bias remains above pivot US $4,133.95; resistance near US $4,264.70 could open path to US $4,381.44.

Support zones are at US $4,075.58 and long-term at US $3,886.46 if prices dip.

Upcoming FOMC decision and U.S. economic data (jobs, CPI) are expected to trigger volatility.

Gold is in a consolidation phase — traders should monitor pivot and resistance levels closely. Fed signals could drive sharp moves in XAUUSD, offering opportunities for short-term trading or hedging.

Profit‑Taking Stalls Gold Rally Despite Bullish Fed Rate‑Cut Bets

After a strong rally earlier this week on expectations of a U.S. rate cut, gold prices slipped as traders booked profits — even though rate‑cut speculation remains elevated.

Spot gold closed at US $4,198.69/oz on Friday, down about 0.24% for the day, retreating from intraday highs near US $4,259.34.

The sell‑off came despite persistent market bets that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will cut interest rates soon.

U.S. inflation data cooled slightly and labour‑market signals remained mixed, giving some support to dovish expectations — but not enough to prevent short‑term profit‑taking.

The dip appears technical rather than a breakdown — gold remains structurally supported by dovish Fed expectations, central‑bank demand and macro uncertainty. That said, until fresh catalysts — like upcoming economic data or rate‑cut confirmation — surface, gold may trade in a consolidation range.

Manager of $24 billion gold ETF sets target for 2030

VanEck — manager of a $24 billion gold miners ETF — issued a bullish long‑term outlook, projecting that gold could climb to $5,000 per ounce by 2030, backed by strong central‑bank demand, rising investor inflows into gold‑related ETFs, and growing macroeconomic uncertainty.

Gold prices surged ~60% in 2025 amid inflation, tariffs, and economic uncertainty.

VanEck argues gold is transitioning from a “cyclical safe‑haven” to a “structural hedge,” as central banks — especially in emerging markets — accumulate bullion, reducing reliance on the U.S. dollar.

According to VanEck, gold‑miners (ETF holdings) have outperformed many global stock indices in 2025, reflecting strong margins and renewed investor interest.

VanEck’s 2030 target of $5,000/oz suggests that gold isn’t just a short‑term refuge — rather, it’s being positioned as a foundational asset for long‑term portfolio hedging. If central‑bank buying continues and geopolitical or economic uncertainties deepen, gold could increasingly take on a role similar to a “global reserve‑class” asset.

🔮 MetaMask Launches Polymarket Integration — Brings Prediction Markets Inside Wallet

MetaMask now offers native access to Polymarket’s prediction‑market platform — users can trade on real‑world events (politics, sports, crypto, culture, etc.) directly inside their wallet.

The integration supports one‑tap funding using any token from any EVM‑compatible blockchain, making it easy and fast to open a prediction position.

Every trade placed via MetaMask earns MetaMask Rewards points, which link to the wallet’s broader incentive program — a push to boost engagement and user adoption.

Expert takeaway: MetaMask’s move signals a shift — from “just a crypto wallet” to a full‑service Web3 hub where storing, trading, staking and betting on real‑world events all live under one roof. As prediction markets grow in popularity, integrating them into wallets could accelerate mainstream adoption — but it also raises questions around regulation, user responsibility, and risk management in on‑chain betting.

⚠️ Malaysia Cracks Down as Bitcoin Miners Steal US $1.1 B in Electricity

Authorities say roughly 13,800–14,000 sites across Malaysia were illegally tapping into the power grid to mine crypto — causing estimated losses of US $1.1 billion for the national utility Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) since 2020.

To catch the perpetrators, enforcement agencies deployed a multi‑agency task force using drones with thermal cameras, ground sensors, and meter inspections — even responding to reports of “strange noises” (later revealed as machines masked by fake nature sounds).

The crackdown has already resulted in seizures of mining rigs and numerous raids — with authorities considering tougher regulation or even a nationwide ban on unregulated crypto‑mining.

Expert takeaway: What began as low‑visibility, illicit crypto‑mining has morphed into a major energy‑theft scandal. The scale of lost electricity highlights the systemic risks unregulated mining poses — not only to grid stability and public infrastructure, but also to the reputation and operational viability of crypto mining globally. Expect tighter compliance requirements or outright bans in jurisdictions with energy‑constrained grids.

Investors are gearing up for a pivotal week as the Federal Reserve prepares its next interest-rate cut, Jerome Powell readies for his press briefing, and tech giants Oracle and Broadcom get set to report earnings.

Markets widely expect a 25 bps rate cut, but the real market-moving force will be Powell’s guidance on the 2026 rate path. Meanwhile, Oracle and Broadcom earnings will shape sentiment in AI, cloud, and semiconductor sectors.

📉 Fed likely to cut rates by 0.25%, targeting the 3.5%–3.75% range; all eyes on Powell’s tone.

🏦 Delayed economic data adds more uncertainty to the Fed’s communication.

🖥️ Oracle earnings expected to show AI-driven cloud growth; high capex remains a key concern.

🔌 Broadcom set to post strong results on AI chips and data-center infrastructure demand.

Powell’s messaging will decide market mood — dovish tones could boost risk assets, while cautious comments may trigger volatility.

🇨🇳 China’s PBOC Keeps Buying Gold — A Steady Signal Even as the Rally Cools

The PBOC has added to its gold reserves for the 13th straight month — even as gold’s price rally appears to be cooling off.

🔑 What’s Going On

In its latest update, PBOC added roughly 30,000 troy ounces of gold to its reserves — continuing a buying streak that began in November 2024.

The total reserves now stand at about 74.12 million troy ounces.

This steady accumulation comes even though global gold prices have recently cooled from their peak — showing that China is playing a long-term game rather than chasing short-term spikes.

📈 What It Means for Markets

PBOC’s consistent demand continues to provide a strong “demand floor” for gold — acting as a support even if private and retail demand softens.

The move signals that China remains committed to diversifying its reserves — possibly reducing reliance on currencies like the US dollar and increasing holdings in “hard” assets.

For global investors, this persistent central-bank buying could help stabilize gold prices over mid- to long-term, even if near-term volatility returns.

“Even as metal’s rally cools, the PBOC’s gold-buying streak shows Beijing isn’t backing off — that tells you this is not about short-term profit, it’s about reserve-strategy and long-term balance-sheet strength.”
