Comparing recent market trends is quite interesting. Precious metals are going absolutely crazy—gold has surged over 70% in a year, hitting more than 40 new all-time highs, with London Gold breaking through $4,500 per ounce, and domestic gold jewelry selling at 1,410 yuan per gram. Silver is even more aggressive, with a year-to-date increase of 170%, breaking through $79 per ounce. Platinum and palladium have also risen over 30%, making it a full-scale celebration across the board.
How about the crypto market? Bitcoin has plummeted over 30% from its high of $126,000, now hovering around $90,000, and is definitely in negative territory for the year. The once loudly touted "digital gold" label has now shattered into pieces. Every other day, hundreds of thousands of traders are getting liquidated en masse, and even stablecoins have fallen to $0.11, completely losing their safe-haven attributes. Watching the rise of precious metals, the crypto market's performance is indeed awkward.
But there's a detail that can't be ignored. Whale investors are quietly increasing their holdings of ETH and XRP, with Ethereum being classified as a "strike zone" asset by institutions. The market rotation signals are already at full throttle—no one can say when the trend will reverse, it could happen in the next second.
The current question isn't whether to pick a side, but rather not to miss this wave of momentum. What do you think? Will this round of crypto resurgence start with mainstream coins or MEME coins?

Gold is going crazy, while the crypto world is still sleeping. Are the whales secretly accumulating ETH? You can't ignore it.

The surge in gold indeed hits the face of the digital gold narrative, but I’m more concerned about what the whales are hoarding, that’s the real signal.
Stablecoins dropping to 0.11? Now we really need to choose the right exchange carefully, don’t get caught.
The opportunity for ETH feels bigger than BTC, the mainstream coins should start turning around from this.
Gold and other precious metals rising like this shows the market is still risk-averse; the crypto market will need to wait for the wind to turn to make a comeback.
Wait, are the whales really adding to their XRP positions? Is this another wave of Ripple hype?
Honestly, right now it’s just a wait-and-see game, see who can hold on till the end.
You shouldn’t touch MEME coins at this point; sticking with mainstream coins is safer.
BTC at $90,000 is in a pretty awkward position, can't go up and afraid to go down, so just stay horizontal.

Gold has risen 70%, but the crypto market is still falling. This is outrageous; it was about time to buy the dip in mainstream coins.

Gold's surge is indeed dazzling, but the silence in the crypto world is even more frightening—whales are all lurking.

Gold is soaring wildly, while the crypto circle is awkwardly scratching their feet. The contrast is truly ironic. However, whales are quietly increasing their positions in ETH and XRP, clearly aware of the situation. Turning the tide in the next second is not a dream.

Gold has already risen so much, but the crypto world is still taking hits, which shows we're still a long way to go...

Gold is rising so fiercely, while the crypto world is still taking a beating; the gap is really huge. However, the whales secretly accumulating ETH seem to be holding back a big move.
