This will be interesting. @aave's PT integration will kick off with PT-sUSDe-31Jul2025 (2nd largest pool w/ $50M liq. depth). @MorphoLabs's PT-sUSDe/USDC market has 91.2% utilisation on $20.14M USDC (~40% of underlying pool liq. depth). This alone demonstrates the high demand for DeFi composability & additional productivity utilisation for @pendle_fi PTs. Given the considerably high borrow rate ~7.2%, expect more to flock to Aave for lower rates upon launch.

Gold surges to more than $3,390 on April 21 as more investors flock to safe-haven assets amidst economic uncertainty. A boost in gold could signal a similar pattern in crypto, specifically Bitcoin. According to the latest data from Trading Economics, gold has hit a new all-time high amidst global economic volatility. On April 21, gold went up 2%, reaching well above the $3,390 threshold and hitting as high as $3,395 around 7:30 UTC. Analysts predict that the rise in performance could be due to rising global trade tensions and a result of the U.S. dollar growing weaker. Just a week prior, President Donald Trump ordered an investigation into potential new tariffs on U.S. critical mineral imports. This marks a significant escalation in the trade dispute between the U.S. and other countries, particularly China . In addition, investors are starting to lose confidence in traditional fiat currencies as the U.S. dollar plummeted to a three-year low. On the other hand, gold’s meteoric rise could signal the beginnings of a bullish rally for the crypto market. Traders have noted the the price of gold and Bitcoin ( BTC ) often go hand-in-hand, considering both are “safe-haven” assets. In fact, on the same day, Bitcoin reached a new monthly-high of $87,570. At press time, BTC has gone up more than 3.2% in the past 24 hours of trading. It is currently trading hands at $87,538. The last time BTC reached above $87,400 was back in March 28, before it experienced a slump in early April. Bitcoin has often been likened to “digital gold” by market traders and investors alike. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said that Bitcoin was a competitor for gold due to how both assets are used as a store of value rather than as a payment option. Similarly, founder and CEO of ARK Investment Management, Cathie Wood predicted Bitcoin’s $2 trillion market cap could one day surpass gold’s $15 trillion over time. Despite having been around longer, it evidently took gold a longer time to reach $2 trillion, something that took Bitcoin only 15 years. “At $2,700, gold is a $15 trillion market, compared to Bitcoin at only $2 trillion. Even after breaking through $100,000, Bitcoin still is in early innings,” said Wood. Historically, positive market movements in gold are often followed by a boost in Bitcoin prices not long after. Aside from the fact that both assets are seen as “safe havens” that protect investors against the volatility of traditional fiat currencies, both also have finite supplies that need to be mined. Despite these similarities, a Bloomberg analysis found that gold still has a much lower volatility rate compared to Bitcoin; with gold’s annual volatility rate being around 10% to 20%, while Bitcoin often exceeds 50%. Though this may be the case, analysts have also noted that macro Bitcoin trends have a tendency to follow gold’s within a few months.

Bitcoin’s (BTC) reputation as digital gold has come under scrutiny following investors’ reaction to the ongoing trade tensions between the United States and other countries. Market experts anticipated a scenario where participants would flock to the leading cryptocurrency as macro conditions affect stocks; however, the opposite has been the case. Ki Young Ju, the founder and CEO of the on-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant, insisted in an X post that, against popular opinion, bitcoin is not yet digital gold. However, he sees a silver lining in this situation. Bitcoin has been named digital gold because of its security, limited supply, and generally believed role as a store of value. These characteristics are similar to gold’s, which has a finite supply that enhances its value as a long-term store of wealth. As global economic tensions, triggered by trade tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, began in February, many market experts believed BTC would record a significant inflow of capital due to investors leaving the stock market for cryptocurrencies. Even Arthur Hayes, the co-founder of the crypto derivatives exchange BitMEX, thinks the economic chaos stemming from Trump’s tariffs would lead to a monetary easing cycle that will be bullish for BTC. While the market awaits the manifestation of such predictions, cryptocurrencies have been hit just as hard as stocks in the past two months, with BTC recording its deepest correction in this cycle. Ju said tariff experts on X have been “playing 6D chess” since the macro issues began. He explained that uncertainties like this drive demand for safe-haven assets, insinuating that BTC is not seen as such yet. Proof of the CryptoQuant founder’s opinion is that gold has surged by 11% since Trump returned to the White House, while BTC is down more than 25% over the same period. Despite bitcoin’s questionable status as digital gold, Ju believes the good news is that BTC will eventually surpass gold’s $20 trillion market cap. The cryptocurrency’s market cap currently sits at $1.6 trillion. Additionally, the CryptoQuant CEO insisted that BTC has entered a bearish phase but is still bullish about the asset’s long-term potential. Ju’s short-term bearish bias for BTC substantiates his claim that the cryptocurrency has wrapped up its bull run for this cycle. Less than a month ago, he said every on-chain metric signals that BTC is in a bear market, so investors should expect 6-12 months of bearish or sideways price action, especially with fresh liquidity drying up.
