Gold sets new record, Bitcoin drops for fourth month in a row
Last Updated on 27 January 2026 by CryptoTips.eu
One man’s death is another man’s gain, as the saying goes. While crypto enthusiasts might have laughed at the stagnating gold price back in 2020, 2021, 2023, and 2024, things have changed in the past year. Silver is also doing very well.
$5,000
Gold traded above $5,000 for the first time on Monday, Meanwhile Bitcoin is likely to close lower for a fourth consecutive month. After reaching a record high in early October, we’ve fallen every month since then. Analysts say this suggests a very slow and steady decline until a bottom (and support) is found. This will likely take several weeks or even months.
Fortunately, you can also buy gold with cryptocoins. Thanks to Tether, you now also have the cryptocurrency Tether Gold, which exactly tracks the price of gold. It currently trades at number 37 in the CoinMarketCap top 100.
Gold has already climbed 64% in 2025, the biggest annual jump since 1979. This was driven by a flight to “safe haven” assets, large purchases by central banks (China is buying a lot of gold), and interest from ETFs.
The price of gold is setting a new record every week and has already risen by more than 18% this year.
