The separation of Bitcoin from gold.. The birth of a new era of safe havens?

Cryptocurrency markets have seen their gains over the past twenty-four hours, with Ethereum (ETH) jumping by 8%, while Bitcoin (BTC) regained momentum, approaching the $106,000 level, despite a decline in investors' appetite for risk in stock and gold markets.

This strong performance of cryptocurrencies comes in the wake of the credit rating downgrade of the United States by Moody's last Friday, which it attributed to the chronic financial (i) and political division. While stocks declined, and gold continued to fall by nearly 7% from its highs in May, Bitcoin managed to maintain its gains, even briefly rising to $107,000 on Sunday evening before retreating.
