The post Bitmine’s Tom Lee Explains Why Gold Is Rising While Crypto Lags appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Speaking on CNBC, BitMine CEO Tom Lee explained why gold prices have risen strongly while Bitcoin has struggled. He said metals are moving higher due to a weak U.S. dollar and strong global demand. 

At the same time, the crypto market remains under pressure and has not been able to keep up with gold’s rally.

Tom Lee on Gold Rally and Dollar Weakness

According to the interview aired this week, Tom Lee said the recent surge in gold and silver was one of the most surprising trades of the year. He said strong momentum, investor demand, and global uncertainty have all pushed precious metals higher.

He explained that the U.S. dollar remains under pressure as global growth improves and the Federal Reserve stays cautious on rate cuts. A weaker dollar usually supports hard assets, which is why gold has continued to climb. 

Lee added that in some regions, especially in China, demand has been unusually strong, with certain silver ETFs actually trading at high premiums.

Why Crypto Is Not Keeping Up With Gold

Futher when asked about seeing strong momentum in precious metals, but not as much in cryptocurrencies.

Despite similar market conditions, Lee said crypto has failed to benefit from the same situational, even while considered as a haven.

Each time crypto prices attempted to recover, new shocks forced traders to reduce risk again. This has kept confidence low and slowed any sustained rebound.

Investor Money Will Now Shift To Bitcoin

Market history shows that when gold prices peak and start to fall, investors often move their money into Bitcoin. This pattern was seen in 2017 and 2021. After gold lost momentum in those years, Bitcoin rallied strongly, jumping nearly 1000% in 2017 and around 400% in 2021.

Recently, gold appears to have reached a top again. Prices fell from around $5,600 to nearly $4,892, a drop of about 13%

Such a pullback often signals that the strong gold rally may be slowing down. When this happens, the crypto market tends to rally hard.

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto

The post Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed a $4 billion at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program with the U.S. SEC  to raise more capital for additional SOL accumulation. Forward Strategies Doubles Down On Solana Strategy In a Wednesday press release, Forward Industries revealed that the 4 billion ATM equity offering program will allow the company to issue and sell common stock via Cantor Fitzgerald under a sales agreement dated Sept. 16, 2025. Forward said proceeds will go toward “general corporate purposes,” including the pursuit of its Solana balance sheet and purchases of income-generating assets. The sales of the shares are covered by an automatic shelf registration statement filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that is already effective – meaning the shares will be tradable once they’re sold. An automatic shelf registration allows certain publicly listed companies to raise capital with flexibility swiftly.  Kyle Samani, Forward’s chairman, astutely described the ATM offering as “a flexible and efficient mechanism” to raise and deploy capital for the company’s Solana strategy and bolster its balance sheet.  Advertisement &nbsp Though the maximum amount is listed as $4 billion, the firm indicated that sales may or may not occur depending on existing market conditions. “The ATM Program enhances our ability to continue scaling that position, strengthen our balance sheet, and pursue growth initiatives in alignment with our long-term vision,” Samani said. Forward Industries kicked off its Solana treasury strategy on Sept. 8. The Wednesday S-3 form follows Forward’s $1.65 billion private investment in public equity that closed last week, led by crypto heavyweights like Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital. The company started deploying that capital this week, announcing it snatched up 6.8 million SOL for approximately $1.58 billion at an average price of $232…
