Inflation and jurisdictional risks are serving as powerful examples of the value of alternative assets like gold and Bitcoin, and the ability to borrow against these non-yielding assets could make them even more attractive in the coming years, according to Adam Reeds, CEO of digital-asset-backed lending platform Ledn – which is launching Tether Gold-backed loans in the coming weeks.

Persistent fiscal deficits, ballooning sovereign debt and rising geopolitical fragmentation are forcing investors to rethink what constitutes a safe-haven asset, and one digital asset executive says the answer increasingly includes both gold and Bitcoin.

Senators from both parties blocked a landmark digital asset market structure bill in a procedural vote, sending crypto stocks tumbling. The bill would have handed the CFTC the primary authority to regulate the digital assets industry, but failed to advance with a vote of 49-50.

Bitcoin faces key resistance near $82,800, but I am bullish with a 12-month target of $95,000 and a stop-loss at $74,000. ETF inflows hit $3.52 billion in August, signaling institutional macro hedging, not long-term adoption, and creating a thin, volatile float.
