GENIUS ACT Triggered, Biggest Bank Run in History is Coming
GENIUS ACT Triggered, Biggest Bank Run in History is Coming
Daniela Cambone: 11-4-2-25
The recent pullback in gold and silver prices has led some to believe the bull market has run its course. However, macro strategist Garrett Goggin, in a compelling discussion on the Daniela Cambone show with ITM Trading, argues a different narrative: this bull market is not only far from over, it’s merely in its nascent stages.
Goggin’s thesis is rooted in a fundamental shift in global dynamics, driven by forces unlike those seen in previous cycles. The primary catalyst? Unprecedented central bank demand for physical gold.
In an increasingly volatile world, central banks are actively hoarding gold as a safer haven than the US dollar.
Goggin points to the weaponization of the dollar, particularly highlighted by the conflict in Ukraine and the subsequent freezing of assets, as a stark warning to nations worldwide.
This perceived vulnerability of the dollar is prompting a strategic diversification into gold, a tangible asset with a long history of preserving wealth, immune to political manipulation and asset freezes.
Furthermore, the prevailing macro environment, including the Federal Reserve’s potential pivot towards interest rate cuts and the evolving political landscape, creates a fertile ground for dollar devaluation. Such a scenario would naturally propel gold prices higher.
Beyond traditional markets, Goggin delves into the intriguing intersection of cryptocurrency and precious metals, specifically focusing on stablecoins like Tether and its innovative “Tether Gold.” He notes the US government’s recent embrace of cryptocurrency, exemplified by the “Genius Act,” which legitimizes stablecoins and integrates them into the traditional banking system.
This regulatory shift, Goggin suggests, could trigger the “biggest bank run of all time” as assets move from traditional banking into the crypto space.
Tether, a significant player in this arena, is actively accumulating gold – reportedly around 100 tons annually. Their creation of “Tether Gold” offers a unique proposition: the stability and intrinsic value of gold combined with the transferability and efficiency of cryptocurrency.
This innovation has the potential to fundamentally redefine our understanding of money and payment systems.
Goggin also observes that while crypto companies may not be direct buyers of mining operations, they are actively acquiring royalty companies that benefit from these operations. He even posits that Tether Gold could eventually surpass Tether dollars in market size, driven by gold’s inherent long-term value and the technological advantages of crypto.
While gold takes center stage, Goggin also highlights the considerable upside potential of silver.
Historically, silver tends to experience parabolic spikes near the peak of gold bull markets. With gold poised for further gains, silver remains significantly undervalued relative to its precious metal counterpart, suggesting a similar, if not more explosive, upward trajectory.
In conclusion, the ITM Trading discussion with Garrett Goggin paints a clear picture: the current environment is a perfect storm for precious metals.
Macroeconomic shifts, geopolitical realignments, and groundbreaking technological innovation in cryptocurrency are converging to create a powerful and sustained bull market for gold and silver. Far from being over, this rally is just beginning, and the potential for significant gains over the coming years is substantial.
