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.
Despite common fears that global crises spell disaster for crypto markets, new data from Binance Research suggests the opposite may be true — at least for Bitcoin.
A new report by crypto analytics firm Alphractal reveals that Bitcoin miners are facing some of the lowest profitability levels in over a decade — yet have shown little sign of capitulation.

Bitcoin has officially overtaken Alphabet (Google’s parent company) in global asset rankings, becoming the sixth most valuable asset in the world, according to the latest real-time market data.
