GOLD

Asset manager IDX is back in the spotlight — shortly after U.S. authorities approved crypto-backed mortgages, the firm filed an application for a new ETF combining bitcoin and gold.
The proposed IDX Alternative FIAT ETF aims to offer investors synthetic exposure to two traditionally strong stores of value — digital bitcoin and physical gold. In today’s uncertain global economy, where both assets have delivered impressive returns in 2025, the move represents a strategic step toward diversification and market volatility protection.

ETF Offering Dynamic Allocation Between BTC and Gold
According to the filing, IDX’s ETF will use an active risk-balanced allocation strategy between gold and bitcoin. The asset mix will shift based on metrics such as volatility and momentum, aiming to maintain a well-balanced exposure in changing market conditions.
Instead of direct holdings in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana, the fund focuses on derivative instruments — such as futures, options, swaps, and exchange-traded products (ETPs) — to provide direct or synthetic exposure to both digital and commodity-based assets.
SEC filings confirm that the ETF will allocate most of its portfolio to bitcoin and gold, while up to 40% may be invested in complementary assets like:

🔹 Ether

🔹 Silver

🔹 Gold mining stocks

🔹 Blockchain infrastructure companies
These are collectively referred to as "reference assets."

Leveraged Exposure and Focus on BTC and Gold
IDX states that, under normal market conditions, the fund will target 1.25x leveraged exposure, with at least 80% of net assets tied to financial instruments linked to bitcoin and gold.
This move comes as interest surges in fixed-income instruments backed by crypto, a trend highlighted in analysis from Michael Saylor, founder of MicroStrategy.

Bitcoin ETF Inflows Surge: $500 Million in One Day
Investor demand for bitcoin ETFs is booming. On Wednesday alone, another $500 million flowed into spot bitcoin ETFs. This marks the 12th consecutive day of net inflows, totaling nearly $4 billion in new capital over that period.
Since the launch of spot bitcoin ETFs in January 2024, the sector has attracted close to $50 billion in total capital — making it one of the fastest-growing investment products in recent history.

U.S. Officially Approves Crypto as Part of Mortgage Reserves
Another major breakthrough came this week — the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced that cryptocurrencies like bitcoin can now be officially counted as part of borrowers’ mortgage reserves.
Under the new policy, crypto assets held on U.S.-regulated centralized exchanges can be included in borrowers' financial capacity assessments without the need to convert them to USD. This represents a major shift, as digital assets were previously excluded from mortgage risk evaluations.
The FHFA aims to broaden the range of eligible assets in mortgage underwriting — acknowledging the growing role of digital finance. Industry leaders like Michael Saylor hailed this decision as a historic moment for crypto adoption in traditional finance.

Gold prices ticked higher in Asian trade on Wednesday after sharp losses in the prior session, as a weaker U.S. dollar offered some support, even as a ceasefire between Israel and Iran dampened demand for safe-haven assets.
Spot Gold rose 0.2% to $3,329.93 an ounce, while Gold Futures for August gained 0.3% to $3,344.70/oz by 02:16 ET (06:16 GMT).
Bullion fell over 1% on Tuesday after President Donald Trump announced that a ceasefire between Iran and Israel had come into effect.
Israel-Iran truce pressures gold
President Trump, on late Monday, declared a multi‑stage ceasefire between Israel and Iran, and urged that neither party should violate it.
Despite the announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, concerns remained over how long the truce would hold. Just hours after declaring the agreement, President Donald Trump took to social media to accuse both sides of failing to uphold their commitments.
Gold, traditionally viewed as a hedge against geopolitical risk and uncertainty, has come under pressure as the ceasefire appears to be holding.
The metal was supported by a weaker dollar and uncertainty over the ceasefire. Media reports on Tuesday showed that U.S. strikes failed to destroy the Iranian nuclear program, but only delayed it by a few months.
The US Dollar Index edged down 0.1% in Asia hours, hovering near a one-week low.
Federal Reserve Chair Powell said in testimony before Congress that many paths were possible for monetary policy, and the central bank needed more time to see if rising tariffs drive inflation higher.
Metal markets rise on weak dollar
Broader metal markets rose as a weaker dollar made the commodity cheaper for foreign buyers. However, gains were limited as a broader risk-on mood weighed on precious metals.
Silver Futures rose 0.5% to $35.928 per ounce, while Platinum Futures were largely muted at $1,318.15/oz.
Meanwhile, benchmark Copper Futures on the London Metal Exchange rose 0.5% to $9,723.35 a ton, while U.S. Copper Futures were unchanged at $4.9015 a pound.

Viral Claim: $43 Million Billion in Gold Confiscated from Vatican-Hawaii Tunnel? Let’s Break It Down 🧱💰 $XRP
A wild claim circulating online says that $43 million billion (yes, million billion) in gold was seized from a mysterious underground tunnel between the Vatican and Maui, Hawaii. The post alleges the tunnel was 1,500 miles long and 15 km deep, and it was packed with gold and used in a global child trafficking operation.
📽️ A video shows tunnels filled with stacked gold bars, supposedly evidence of this massive operation.
But here’s what the facts say:
🔍 Reality Check:
💸 $43 million billion = $43 quadrillion.
📏 At $2,100 per ounce, that would equal about 571 million tonnes of gold.
🌍 But… only ~212,000 tonnes of gold have been mined in ALL of human history.
❗This claim suggests 2,687x more gold than has ever existed.
🧠 What We’re Really Seeing:
No credible evidence exists of such a tunnel.
The video uses reused stock footage or AI-generated gold bar visuals.
The numbers simply don't add up — it's physically and economically impossible.

⚠️ Why This Matters for Crypto Investors:
Fake news like this can spark unfounded fears or hype, which might influence impulsive investment decisions — especially in gold-backed tokens or conspiracy-driven coins.
✅ Always cross-check facts. ✅ Trust data, not drama. ✅ Follow verified news sources.
🔒 Stay informed. Stay smart. Trade wisely.
