Thus, the startup name shows that only cryptocurrencies can be traded against each other. It is not possible to trade crypto currencies against Fiat.

These include trading fees, transaction fees, listing fees and others. Binance gives you a huge discount when fees are paid in BNB.   The schedule of BNB fees discount is as follow: In the first year, 50% discount on all fees, second year 25% discount, third year 12.5% discount, fourth year 6.75 % discount, and from the fifth year onwards there is no discount.

Gold Hits Record High on Political Uncertainty: Can the ETF Rally Last?

Gold hits record highs on U.S. political shockwaves and Iran unrest. ETFs like GLD, IAU, IAUM shine as rate-cut bets grow.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Multi-month corrections in silver are a thing of the past, with pullbacks now unfolding in just days, Oliver said.</li><li>Silver has seen sharp volatility recently, sliding about 16% from record highs before rebounding to those levels within just 10 sessions.</li><li>Escalating unrest in Iran and a criminal probe on Fed Chair Jerome Powell are seen as key triggers.</li></ul>Silver’s breakout is likely to be explosive, with prices potentially racing past $200 an ounce sooner than expected and even reaching $500, veteran technical analyst Michael Oliver said on a YouTube podcast with the Living Your Greatness channel on Sunday.Oliver argued that the structure of the silver market has fundamentally changed. He&nbsp;said, “You don't get these multi-month corrections anymore. Now they're measured in days. And frankly, we expect to see silver uh reach .. my minimum is like $200, but I wouldn't be shocked if it approached $500, to tell you the truth.”Silver has seen sharp volatility recently, sliding about 16% from record highs before rebounding to those levels within just 10 sessions.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Gold, Silver Continue Record Run</h2>On Monday, both gold and silver surged to fresh record highs as heightened geopolitical risks and news of a criminal probe tied to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell drove investors toward safe-haven assets.Spot gold (XAUUSD) broke above $4,600 an ounce for the first time, while spot silver (XAGUSD) jumped nearly 6% to $84.62. Gold futures for February 2026 rose 2.2% to $4,599.40 an ounce, and March 2026 silver futures surged 6.1% to $84.17.<h2 class="st-heading-2">What’s Driving The Gold, Silver Rally?</h2>Precious metals hit fresh record highs early Monday as the Trump administration escalated its confrontation with the Federal Reserve by issuing DOJ subpoenas, raising concerns over central bank independence, inflation, and the safety of U.S. bonds, commodities expert and Head of Commodity Strategy for Saxo Bank, Ole Hansen wrote in a <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/Ole_S_Hansen/status/2010609307092390053">post</a> on X on Monday.“Safe-haven demand has been underpinned by escalating unrest in Iran, where ongoing protests continue to challenge the regime and stoke geopolitical risk premia,” he added.The Donald Trump-led administration is reportedly weighing criminal charges against Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell tied to his testimony before Congress last summer regarding a Fed construction project, a move Powell has described as an attempt to exert greater political control over the central bank and its policy decisions.Meanwhile, demonstrations across Iran escalated over the weekend as President Trump said the U.S. could engage directly with Iranian officials while considering a range of forceful responses, including military action, to Tehran’s violent suppression of protests.Trump warned Iran’s leadership that any move by security forces to fire on demonstrators would trigger a U.S. attack. According to U.S.-based rights group HRANA, at least 490 protesters and 48 security personnel have been killed, with more than 10,600 people detained.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>Despite the surge to record highs, retail sentiment on Stocktwits remained ‘bearish’&nbsp;for both <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SLV">iShares Silver Trust</a> (SLV) and <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/GLD">SPDR Gold Shares ETF</a>&nbsp;(GLD).

But you can’t invest in it analytically on the basis of something called intrinsic value,” Marks said.So far in 2025, the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/SPX">S&amp;P 500</a> has gained 16%, while spot gold prices have risen 65%.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/bitcoin">Bitcoin prices</a> have declined by over 7% year-to-date.Analysts at ING Think expect gold prices to reach $4,400 per troy ounce by the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2026, implying an upside of 2% from the current price of $4,295.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Intrinsic Value</h2>The Oaktree co-founder, also known for his investment memos, voiced his opposition to Bitcoin, diamonds, and paintings, apart from gold, for lacking intrinsic value.“If I say to a gold fan or a Bitcoin fan, well, what do you think the price will be in a year, how do they reach that conclusion? What do they base it on, if they don’t have cash flow to base that conclusion on?” Marks asked.Intrinsic value is the true underlying worth of an asset based on fundamentals like cash flow, assets, and earnings, independent of its current market price.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Gold Versus Equities</h2>While Marks acknowledged that those who invested in gold this year have made a “ton of money,” he pulled up historical returns of the yellow metal and compared it with the annual returns of U.S. equities.“If you bought gold at the end of 2010, I think you’ve had a 7.7% annual return since then. And if you bought the S&amp;P at the same time, you’ve had a 12.7% rate of return,” he said.He added that while gold has not been a disaster, investors should not be distracted by the yellow metal’s recent returns. “It’s been a lackluster investment,” he added.The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/GLD">SPDR Gold Shares ETF</a> (GLD) was up 0.06% at the time of writing, while the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/IAU">iShares Gold Trust ETF</a> (IAU) was up 0.08%.
