Following tariff announcements from the US, gold prices had reached record levels, but retreated to $3,200 with positive developments in negotiations. During this process, Bitcoin showed an increase of more than 10 percent, rising to $97,000.
Geoff Kendrick, Head of Digital Assets at Standard Chartered, stated that this correction in gold prices could be a positive development for Bitcoin.
Kendrick expressed that after investors exited US assets, Bitcoin has emerged as a better hedging tool compared to gold.
