Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino believes that rising geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic shifts will heighten the value of scarce assets such as Bitcoin (BTC) and gold.
In a recent interview with investor Preston Pysh, Ardoino highlighted global instability as a driving factor behind the increased relevance of these assets.
Ardoino pointed out the escalating tensions worldwide, from Europe to the US, suggesting that this environment makes Bitcoin and gold attractive investment options.
He observed that fear of potential crises is prompting countries like China to stockpile substantial amounts of gold, and he advises individual investors to consider adding Bitcoin or gold to their portfolios as a safeguard.
He further emphasized that investing in these assets could be a wise decision given the uncertainty ahead. As of now, Bitcoin is priced at $59,545, reflecting a 2% increase over the past day.
Tether, known for its USDT stablecoin, strives to keep a 1:1 value with the US dollar.
After weeks of intense institutional activity that helped push Bitcoin above $100,000, inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took a breather between May 6 and May 12.
Bitcoin’s rapid recovery beyond $104,000 has sparked a wave of optimism in crypto circles, but the bigger question remains: is this just the beginning?
While Bitcoin’s price has recently rebounded, the enthusiasm for spot ETFs appears to be cooling. Weekly inflows into U.S. Bitcoin ETFs have dropped sharply, signaling a pause in aggressive institutional accumulation.
A wave of optimism swept through global markets as the United States and China took decisive steps to de-escalate their long-running trade dispute.
