The global financial world has recently been stirred by a piece of news: the United States may revalue its gold reserves at book value. What does this mean? Simply put, if the valuation is adjusted from the historical record of $42 per ounce to the market price, over one trillion dollars could be released on the Federal Reserve's balance sheet out of thin air. This isn't actual money printing, but the effect is similar—financial markets will interpret it this way.



The question is, is this really a bailout or something else? From three perspectives, it’s quite clear:

First, liquidity shock. Revaluing gold essentially means "we acknowledge gold as the true value anchor." This will ignite demand for gold, further pushing up its price. Historical data shows that for every 1% increase in inflation expectations, gold prices typically surge by 2%. Imagine how violent that linkage can be.

Second, the dollar credit issue. In the long run, this may reflect the U.S. re-evaluating the credibility of its fiat currency. Once this logic unfolds, gold prices of $5000 to $8000 are no joke. This is the pricing logic in the de-dollarization era, and everyone holding assets should ponder this.

Third, opportunities in the crypto market. Gold and digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum are, in a sense, hedges against fiat currency credibility. When gold surges, crypto assets often resonate. Whether this logic will continue to hold in 2026 is worth paying attention to.

In the short term, gold may surge toward $4400, with intense volatility along the way. But in the long run, a new asset pricing logic is already forming. The fundamental question is: in an era of dollar credibility revaluation, how should you allocate your assets? This is not just about gold but also involves your understanding of digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Whoa, a trillion dollars appearing out of nowhere? Isn't this just legal money printing, just phrased differently? Is it true that gold has broken 8000? It feels like all assets are being re-priced right now. The Federal Reserve's move... Do I feel like it's laying the groundwork for a major event? Is Bitcoin about to take off? If this logic holds up.

Trillions of dollars appearing out of thin air—that's their magic trick... Gold is the real ace.

Wait, going from 42 to the market price for gold, isn't that a disguised way of admitting defeat? The US dollar is even relying on gold for backing.

Trillions of dollars released out of thin air? I understand this logic right after I finish eating. To put it simply, the Federal Reserve is secretly printing money... I believe gold will reach 8,000, but I don't have any gold in hand, so I can only go all in on BTC.

Gold revaluation equals surrender; the Federal Reserve is finally about to get a lesson. --- Trillions of dollars being released out of thin air? Isn't this just a disguised QE, just with a different name? --- When gold prices soar, I believe BTC will dance along with it; I trust this resonance. --- Repricing of US dollar credit, in simple terms, is paving the way for decentralization. Those who hoard crypto early are laughing the hardest. --- Short-term target: $4,400, long-term: $8,000, but the fluctuations in between will probably be deadly. --- Gold and Bitcoin are essentially the same; both are votes of no confidence in the printing press. --- The real issue is that most people haven't realized what this means; asset allocation is about to change. --- Inflation 1%, gold price rises 2%? Then this round is about to take off. Will crypto follow? --- The US is giving the dollar's credit a health check, and the results may not be very optimistic. --- If the logic of de-dollarization holds, then not hoarding some digital assets now is a bit of hindsight.

Oh my god, is it true? Trillions of dollars are being released out of nowhere? Isn't this just printing money under a different name... Gold is really about to take off, I've already started watching BTC. Wait, is the US dollar credit really going to collapse? Then I need to rethink my positions. I like this logic. When gold rises, the crypto market also gets excited. I need to plan carefully by 2026. Gold prices from 5000 to 8000... Honestly, it's a bit scary, but it doesn't seem that far-fetched. This wave of de-dollarization, it would be too foolish not to stock up on digital assets.

Trillions of dollars appear out of nowhere, this is modern magic... Wait, is it gold's turn to save the day this time? --- Reevaluating the US dollar creditworthiness, in simple terms, is like slapping oneself in the face. I am optimistic about this trend. --- Price of gold from 5000 to 8000? Wake up, this isn't a dream... --- The resonance between gold and cryptocurrencies, I buy into this logic, but can it hold until 2026? --- It sounds nice, but in reality, the Federal Reserve is just playing a numbers game. Asset allocation really needs to be reconsidered. --- I just want to know, during this wave of gold price soaring, was the crypto world still sleeping... --- Admitting gold as a value anchor? Then what have fiat currencies been doing all these decades? It's so ironic. --- Short-term 4400, long-term 8000, I’m afraid I can't withstand the fluctuations in between. --- De-dollarization is coming, is my Bitcoin finally about to stand out? --- This article doesn't mention a single word about BTC rising, but I can read between the lines that BTC is about to take off.

Damn, gold is about to take off this wave. Can't Bitcoin follow the madness? --- The Federal Reserve is secretly printing money, I see through it. --- Wait, gold from 5000 to 8000? Then I’d better quickly save on BTC’s gas fees to buy gold. --- Both hedging against the dollar and resonating with crypto, basically it’s asset re-pricing. We retail investors have to follow the trend. --- De-dollarization era? Sounds impressive, I just want to know if the coins I hold will also rise. --- Someone has been saying this logic for a long time. The Federal Reserve just reacted now, but it’s a bit late. --- Gold hitting 4400, why isn’t anyone giving a number for Bitcoin? What are you afraid of? --- It sounds nice, but it’s still just playing financial tricks. We retail folks can only follow the trend. --- 2026 is still far away. Let’s first see if there are good airdrop opportunities in the near future. --- Trillions of dollars being released out of thin air? Should I stock up more on BTC to prevent the dollar from plunging straight down.

This wave of gold revaluation is really blatantly saying "fiat is finished," it's a bit desperate. --- Trillions of dollars released out of thin air, it sounds so outrageous... What is the Federal Reserve playing at? --- I believe in the logic that gold and Bitcoin resonate together, but a gold price of $5000... you must be extremely desperate to reach that level. --- So should I now go all in on gold or all in on coins? I'm so conflicted. --- Wait, does this logic mean that holding USD is actually the biggest risk... --- Will cryptocurrencies soar with gold in 2026? Then why not get on board now? --- The revaluation of USD credit is a ticking time bomb; it's uncomfortable whether you step on it or not. --- De-dollarization is not just talk; asset allocation really needs to be reconsidered. --- I believe in gold at 4400, but the real opportunity is still in crypto. --- It feels like the Federal Reserve is paving the way for something bigger... that's what we should be pondering.
