Tether has emerged as a significant player in the gold market, acquiring 27 tonnes of gold in Q4 2025, bringing its total holdings to 116 tonnes. This positions Tether among the top 30 global gold holders, with its gold-backed token, XAUT, representing 60% of the gold-linked digital asset market. The surge in gold prices, surpassing $5,000 per ounce, is attributed to increased demand from both traditional and crypto investors, driven by geopolitical tensions and a shift towards safe-haven assets. Financial institutions remain optimistic about gold's future trajectory, with projections of further price increases.

Binance has faced significant fund outflows over the past week, with major withdrawals from both stablecoins and mainstream assets. Notably, USDT (ERC20) saw a net outflow of $2.26 billion, USDC $1.24 billion, BTC $2.14 billion, and ETH $1.35 billion. This trend suggests a simultaneous withdrawal from both cash and assets, indicating weakened buying power and potential liquidity contraction, which may lead to increased volatility in the market.

The stablecoin market has surpassed $284 billion, fueled by fiat-backed coins such as USDT and USDC.
