Announcement on Resumption of STETH-ERC20, FORT-ERC20 Network Withdrawal Services | Bitget Support Center https://www.bitget.com/support/articles/12560603823128

Potential U.S. gold audit could boost Bitcoin as a safe haven Copper's head of research, Fadi Aboualfa, suggested that a potential audit of Fort Knox’s gold reserves under the Trump administration could drive investors toward Bitcoin, according to The Block. If gold ETFs fail to verify full backing, they could trade at a discount, triggering capital outflows that may shift into digital assets. Analysts noted that Bitcoin’s transparency and scarcity could make it an attractive hedge against fiat uncertainty. While a strategic Bitcoin reserve remains unlikely, stopping the sale of seized Bitcoin could be a first step toward its adoption as a reserve asset.

Fort Knox, the golden sanctuary where America hides its reserves, is suddenly in the spotlight. Donald Trump promises to uncover its secrets. Prediction markets are going wild: bets on an audit before May 2025 are skyrocketing to 70%. Between skepticism and speculative fever, one question looms: what do the walls of this legendary bunker really hide? On February 19, Trump drops a media bomb: “We will check if the gold is there.” A terse statement, but loaded with implications. Behind this announcement lies an astonishing mix of unlikely actors: the blog ZeroHedge, libertarian senator Rand Paul, and Elon Musk, who has just unveiled his Grok 3 , always on the lookout for upheavals. This trio transforms a simple bureaucratic routine into a real financial thriller, captivating attention and fueling speculation. Why this obsession ? The last audit dates back to 1974. Half a century of opacity. Trump, as a pragmatic showman, plays on two fronts: reassuring traditionalists and enticing crypto-anarchists. “If there is no gold, we will be very disappointed,” he hints, between threat and confidence. A phrase that makes the markets tremble. The crypto community rejoices. For them, Fort Knox symbolizes everything Bitcoin rejects: opacity, centralization, blind trust. “Gold can lie, the blockchain cannot,” forums proclaim. A cruel irony: the audit of an ancestral metal inadvertently becomes a marketing argument for digital assets. On Polymarket, a crypto betting platform, the event is selling like hotcakes. Odds are rising in real-time: 64% chance of an audit before May, 17% for missing reserves. Dry numbers, but revealing a latent distrust. Every dollar bet is a vote against the status quo. In the shadows, Kalshi, Polymarket’s rival, is preparing its counter-offensive. Brandon Beckhardt, head of growth, promises operational markets by February 20. The race is on: who will capture the collective anxiety better than the other? The platforms are turning uncertainty into a financial product. A dangerous game, but profitable. Meanwhile, the XRP ETF 2025 sees its approval odds jump to 81% on the same markets. Coincidence? Not really. The Fort Knox audit acts as a catalyst, revealing a thirst for transparency that benefits assets continuously audited.

🍀 Polymarket Bets on a Fort Knox Gold Audit Following yesterday’s Fort Knox story, Polymarket has launched bets on whether a gold audit will take place by May 2025. Recap: 🟡 Senator Rand Paul and Elon Musk are demanding an audit of the 4,600 tons of gold officially owned by the U.S. 🟡 President Trump remains silent, but he previously hinted that the U.S. might not have all the gold it claims. 🟡 The odds of an audit by the end of April stand at 56%, showing market skepticism. But what if the gold isn’t there? 🟡 Economists believe that even if some reserves are missing, the market won’t react much. 🟡 Bitcoin maximalists argue that a Fort Knox audit could undermine confidence in the dollar and trigger a BTC rally. Meanwhile, gold hit a new ATH above $2,940, and Goldman Sachs raised its year-end target to $3,100 per ounce. Should Trump conduct a Fort Knox audit?
