Bitcoin held near $82,600 and gained less on Friday than gold (+1.3%) or silver (+2.2%) as yields eased, despite a geopolitical backdrop that included a $1 billion US freeze of Iranian crypto. It again lagged the monetary metals during a stress episode.
Spot gold rose 1.1% to about $4,178 an ounce as Treasury yields eased. Bitcoin fell for a fourth straight day to about $82,700 as investors pulled money from bitcoin ETFs. The two moved in opposite directions under the same macro conditions, which is the split the thesis predicts.
