TLDR

  • Fundstrat’s Tom Lee predicts crypto will surge once gold and silver’s current rally pauses, based on historical patterns
  • Gold hit $5,100 and silver reached $110 on Monday, with gains of 17.5% and 57% respectively in 2026
  • Bitcoin lost 30% since October peak and trades below $95,000, while Ethereum struggles below $3,000
  • Lee says crypto markets still recovering from October 10 deleveraging event that hurt exchanges and market makers
  • BitMine bought 20,000 ETH for $58 million Monday and recently staked 209,504 tokens worth $610 million

Fundstrat managing partner Tom Lee told CNBC on Monday that cryptocurrency markets are being overshadowed by record prices in precious metals. He expects digital assets to catch up once gold and silver take a break from their current rallies.

Lee explained that crypto should be rising due to a weaker dollar and Federal Reserve easing. The industry lacks leverage because it delevered after recent events.

Gold prices reached an all-time high of $5,100 on Monday. The precious metal gained 17.5% since the start of 2026.

Silver hit $110 at the same time. It jumped 57% so far this year.

Market observers link the precious metals surge to geopolitical tensions and trade tariff threats. US dollar weakness also pushed investors toward safe-haven assets.

October Crash Still Affecting Markets

The largest cryptocurrency struggled to gain momentum above $95,000. It dropped back to $86,000 support on Monday.

BitMine Continues Ethereum Purchases

Lee’s Ether treasury firm BitMine bought another 20,000 ETH for $58 million on Monday. Data from Lookonchain confirmed the purchase.

The company also staked 209,504 tokens worth $610 million. BitMine has added 2,218,771 ETH to its staking portfolio since launching the program.

This represents 52% of its total Ethereum reserve. The company now holds 4.2 million ETH in total.

CryptoQuant analyst GugaOnChain offered a different view on Monday. The analyst said dollar weakness doesn’t automatically mean Bitcoin will rise.

Bitcoin traded at $88,202 while Ethereum was at $2,924 on Monday. The total crypto market cap reached $2.99 trillion with a 1.1% increase.

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

The post Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto assets send conflicting signals ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September rate decision. On-chain data reveals a clear decrease in Bitcoin and Ethereum flowing into centralized exchanges, but a sharp increase in altcoin inflows. The findings come from a Tuesday report by CryptoQuant, an on-chain data platform. The firm’s data shows a stark divergence in coin volume, which has been observed in movements onto centralized exchanges over the past few weeks. Bitcoin and Ethereum Inflows Drop to Multi-Month Lows Sponsored Sponsored Bitcoin has seen a dramatic drop in exchange inflows, with the 7-day moving average plummeting to 25,000 BTC, its lowest level in over a year. The average deposit per transaction has fallen to 0.57 BTC as of September. This suggests that smaller retail investors, rather than large-scale whales, are responsible for the recent cash-outs. Ethereum is showing a similar trend, with its daily exchange inflows decreasing to a two-month low. CryptoQuant reported that the 7-day moving average for ETH deposits on exchanges is around 783,000 ETH, the lowest in two months. Other Altcoins See Renewed Selling Pressure In contrast, other altcoin deposit activity on exchanges has surged. The number of altcoin deposit transactions on centralized exchanges was quite steady in May and June of this year, maintaining a 7-day moving average of about 20,000 to 30,000. Recently, however, that figure has jumped to 55,000 transactions. Altcoins: Exchange Inflow Transaction Count. Source: CryptoQuant CryptoQuant projects that altcoins, given their increased inflow activity, could face relatively higher selling pressure compared to BTC and ETH. Meanwhile, the balance of stablecoins on exchanges—a key indicator of potential buying pressure—has increased significantly. The report notes that the exchange USDT balance, around $273 million in April, grew to $379 million by August 31, marking a new yearly high. CryptoQuant interprets this surge as a reflection of…
