  Gold Just Set a New All-Time High While Bitcoin Is Falling: What's Going On?

  Gold has continued to soar to new highs while Bitcoin has dropped sharply over the past month—all while geopolitical risk and President Trump's aggressive new trade policy rock financial markets.  Despite often being described as a form of "digital gold," Bitcoin hasn't been trading much like the real thing.

  Bitcoin surged past $86,800 on Wednesday, climbing nearly 5% as investors responded to signals of looser financial conditions from the Federal Reserve and growing expectations of a liquidity-driven rally.

  Ethereum Whale Offloads $27 Million After Holding for 9 Years

  A long-term Ethereum whale sold holdings worth about $27.6 million, possibly generating profits of more than 18,000% from the time they acquired their tokens, according to blockchain data.   The whale’s address started receiving ETH from another address in 2016, when it was priced at little over $8 a coin, data from Nansen and Breadcrumbs showed. That crypto sat dormant for years.  It isn’t clear whether the “ETH millionaire” who cashed out Wednesday did indeed buy the ETH back in 2016, but it e...
