SAEDNEWS: While Gold Tops the Market with a $31 Trillion Value and Silver Threatens Nvidia, the Key Question Is: What Does This Rally Mean for Crypto?
With the start of the new year and an uncertain market environment, gold and silver—long recognized as stores of value—have reclaimed their positions as the two assets with the largest market value.
According to CompaniesMarketCap data, gold’s market value has reached approximately $31.1 trillion, securing its top spot. Silver temporarily overtook Nvidia to claim second place but has since returned to its previous ranking.
This rise in value stems from investors’ demand for safe-haven assets amid global tensions and trade disputes.
Expectations of a U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate cut under the new leadership have also directed investors toward commodities such as gold and silver.
While this movement has not yet extended to the crypto market, experts believe that a trend of falling interest rates could serve as a strong catalyst for renewed interest in riskier assets, including Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies.
Owen Love, CEO of Clear Street, emphasized in an interview that the Federal Reserve’s monetary policies in 2026 will be a key factor driving crypto market activity, and that rate cuts could increase both retail and institutional investors’ appetite for high-risk assets, including digital gold.
