Tether's recent gold purchases, totaling around 130 tons, are part of a strategic treasury decision aimed at diversification. Ivan Lee from QCP Group highlighted that these acquisitions complement Bitcoin by reducing correlation with crypto liquidity cycles and providing a hedge against regulatory shocks. Tether's gold purchases accounted for 10% of central banks' gold demand in Q4 last year. Investors can use gold for short-term crisis hedging and Bitcoin for long-term policy risk management, with careful consideration of allocation size and risk control based on drawdown characteristics.
