Tether has become the largest holder of gold reserves outside of sovereign nations and banks, currently holding over 140 tons of gold, worth approximately $24.00B, with reserves exceeding the official reserves of many countries such as Australia and Saudi Arabia. In addition to serving as a 1:1 reserve for its issued gold token Tether Gold ($XAUT), Tether also holds a significant amount of gold as surplus reserves on its own balance sheet (providing additional over-collateralization buffer for its stablecoin $USDT).
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has stated that most of its gold is stored in highly secure vaults in Switzerland.
Gold prices remain above $5,000. This support mainly comes from the safe-haven demand triggered by continued geopolitical risks, as well as the widespread sell-off of currencies and sovereign bonds by investors. Investors are currently closely watching the US consumer confidence data to be released later on Tuesday evening, as well as Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's speech on Wednesday. FP Markets analyst Aaron Hill said that if Powell clearly rebuffs political pressure and demonstrates a firm stance in defending the Fed's independence, it may push up the dollar in the short term; while if his statement tends to support a gradual rate cut, it may further depress the dollar's trend.
BitMine Chairman Tom Lee posted, "The parabolic, sustained rise in gold and silver is masking the continued strengthening of the underlying fundamentals of crypto assets, especially Ethereum and Bitcoin. At the 2026 Davos Forum, financial institutions are preparing to build products on Ethereum and other smart blockchains. When the fundamentals continue to move up and to the right, it's only a matter of time before prices rise."
According to Polymarket's website, with the international gold price breaking through $5,000.00/ounce, the event "Gold or $ETH , which will be the first to rise to $5,000.00" has been successfully settled. In the end, this betting event attracted nearly $1.62M in funds. Previous news: On January 9, Polymarket's website showed that the total funds for betting on "Gold or $ETH , which will be the first to rise to $5,000.00" was close to $840,000.00, and the probability of "Gold rising to $5,000.00 first" was temporarily reported at 68%, with a deadline of June 30, 2026.
If neither reaches $5,000.00 by then, the settlement will be made at a ratio of 50%:50%. The gold price refers to the COMEX gold continuous contract; the $ETH price refers to the Binance ETH/USDT price.
On January 25th, citing CoinDesk, the regulation of crypto assets in the United States is accelerating. The proposed crypto market structure bill, if passed, clarifies the regulatory authority of federal regulators over digital assets, making cryptocurrencies easier to manage, track, and trade, potentially attracting more investors and increasing token value. It is understood that crypto platforms such as Coinbase and Kraken will follow a registration system, while stablecoin issuers such as Circle and Tether will need to meet bank-like regulatory requirements to ensure the safety of retail investors' assets.
The subsequent process includes: approval by two Senate committees, a full Senate vote, final signature by the House of Representatives, and finally, signature by President Trump.
Overall, most crypto investors will not be affected in the short term, but in the long run, the bill is expected to provide a safer and more predictable trading environment, while making the compliance operations of crypto platforms more transparent.
U.S. President Donald J. Trump stated that he has held talks with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on issues concerning Greenland and the broader Arctic region, forming a preliminary framework for a future agreement. Based on this progress, the tariff measures originally scheduled to take effect on February 1 will not be implemented for now.
The parties will continue consultations on the "Golden Dome" matter concerning Greenland.
On January 19, according to BitcoinTreasuries.NET, BlackRock's iShares Preferred Stock & Income Securities ETF has just disclosed that it holds $471 million worth of shares in Bitcoin treasury company Strategy's STRC, STRF, $STRK, and STRD, representing 3.3% of the ETF's total size. $BTC
