Those who say they don't want gold are the most honest in their actions.
According to data released by the World Gold Council, the price of gold has hit a new high 53 times in 2025, driving the physical gold ETF market to break the historical record of over $89 billion. This reflects not only pure financial data but also serves as a mirror to the collective psychology of global investors.
When you observe this market trend carefully, you'll notice an interesting phenomenon: amid the market volatility triggered by AI and the increasingly fierce trade frictions, all kinds of capital are flocking to gold simultaneously. This is neither a coincidence nor traditional conservatism—it's the instinctive demand for safe-haven assets that investors have developed after multiple economic cycles.
The role of gold is very subtle. In a time when fiat currencies are frequently fluctuating due to inflation pressures, its stability—independent of any credit system—becomes especially valuable. In comparison, even cryptocurrencies struggle to match its performance in extreme market conditions. This is why, regardless of technological advancements, this asset chosen by humans thousands of years ago still holds an irreplaceable position in the digital age.
From another perspective, behind the record-breaking gold prices, it actually reflects the increasing uncertainty in the global economic environment.

53 new highs, $89 billion... I already said, the crypto world will ultimately kneel to gold
---
Claiming decentralization but hoarding gold wildly, I know this routine too well
---
Fiat devaluation, chaotic AI market, escalating trade wars, no wonder everyone is pouring money into gold. This is called being prepared for any eventuality
---
Thousands of years of credit backing, can't really beat any new concept, feeling a bit hopeless
---
Anyway, I’ve also failed at bottom fishing, now just watching others scramble for gold haha
---
The statement about not relying on the credit system hits the point, in plain words, it’s the era of distrust in everyone
---
What does an ETF size of $89 billion mean? It shows that people are still scared and choosing the safest route

Hey, so in the end, I guess I should just honestly buy gold? It feels like the whole world is playing the same risk-avoidance game right now.

Hi... To be honest, this wave of gold market performance is indeed impressive, but I still prefer the gameplay of on-chain assets.
Honest action? Come on, everyone just talks about not touching gold verbally, but then they turn around and pour money into ETFs. That's a classic case of mouth opposition and body honesty, haha.
The record-breaking 89 billion seems to be more about traditional safe-haven thinking going wild... true believers should be on the chain.
Honestly, gold is stable and all, but what about the returns? They’re not as exciting as the volatility of some cryptocurrencies.
The market is so chaotic right now, whether it's gold or crypto, everyone is actually betting on one word—hedging.
Forget it, I’d rather manage my own portfolio to feel at ease. Don’t believe everything about historical records.

Well... so the crypto world keeps talking about decentralization every day, but in the end, they still end up crying over gold.

Hey, $89 billion gold ETF, this is the market telling the truth
I really didn't expect the crypto world to be so bullish on gold. Every day they talk about decentralization, but in the end, they still cling to gold bars
Actions never lie; words are always empty
Gold is booming like this, which shows that everyone is actually feeling uneasy inside
No matter how much innovation there is, in the end, it still comes down to gold as the safety net, which is quite ironic
