Crypto Market Crash Raises Questions About Gold Price Surge
The global cryptocurrency market continues to face a sharp decline, raising doubts about whether the fall will trigger another rise in international gold prices. After rapid growth in 2025, the crypto market is currently witnessing an even faster downturn.
Bitcoin, the world’s most valuable cryptocurrency, which reached a historic peak earlier this year exceeding ₹1 crore per coin has now dropped to ₹77 lakh, a 25% decline within a month. Over the last six weeks, an estimated $1.2 lakh trillion has been wiped out from the crypto market, affecting major currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Fearing a bearish trend, many investors have started selling off their holdings, with several major investors publicly announcing their exits.
Following the crash, speculation has emerged about whether investors shifting funds could drive up gold prices. Gold already hit a historic high in 2025 due to factors such as:
- US Federal interest rate cuts
- Strong US Dollar trend
- Increased Gold ETF investments
- Massive gold purchases by central banks
However, experts say that instead of gold, most investors are now moving funds into real estate and bonds, which reduces the likelihood of an immediate gold price surge. Analysts believe that while gold may not reach a new high immediately, there is a strong possibility of price increases in early 2026.
Brief Summary
- Crypto market falls sharply; Bitcoin down 25% in a month.
- $1.2 lakh trillion erased from global crypto market.
- Investors selling holdings fearing a bearish phase.
- Gold unlikely to see immediate rise; real estate & bonds more preferred now.
- Experts predict possible gold price increase in the new year.
