🌕 The World Gold Council (WGC) will launch a pilot digital gold in London in 2026 in the format of pooled gold interests (PGIs) – fractional ownership of physical bars held in trust accounts.

The new instrument aims to transform gold from a 'dead' asset into an active one: it can be used as collateral, margin, or a means of settlement.

The project is supported by major banks and trading houses, and if successful, gold will have the chance to become not only a store of value but also a full-fledged element of the global financial infrastructure.

🪙 BTC : The activity of new investors is increasing, indicating a sustained late stage of the bull cycle. Meanwhile, the influence of more experienced market participants remains moderate, leaving potential for continued growth until reaching the classic euphoric zone at 60-70% and above.

🇺🇸 The SEC has approved the possibility of redeeming Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in kind — that is, NOT in dollars, but directly in BTC or ETH.

This decision reduces the tax burden and costs for participants, makes the funds' operations more efficient, and confirms that the regulator increasingly perceives the crypto market as mature. Such a mechanism has long been used in ETFs for gold and stocks.

🟠 The company Galaxy Digital has successfully completed the sale of 80,000 BTC for $9.3 billion, belonging to an investor from the 'Satoshi Nakamoto era'.

This transaction was part of the client's legacy planning and became one of the earliest and most significant profit realizations in the cryptocurrency market.

🟠 Why is the four-year cycle no longer relevant?

After the CEO of CryptoQuant, the investment director of Bitwise also noted that the traditional BTC cycle model is losing its significance:

— Halving is becoming less significant each time.
— The macro environment is more favorable now – interest rates are no longer exerting pressure as they did in 2018 and 2022.
— There are fewer risks of a crash due to improvements in the regulatory environment and institutional adoption.
— The new risk lies in the increasing number of companies holding BTC on their balance sheets.

Long-term trends are replacing the four-year cycle:

— Inflows into ETFs are just beginning – this is a trend for the next 5–10 years.
— Institutional investors are actively entering the crypto market.
— Regulatory changes are planned for January 2025.
— Wall Street has actively engaged in the process following the adoption of the GENIUS law.
