Any correlation between Bitcoin, Ethereum and Gold? And now Stablecoin Explained (17 Dec 2025)

Bitcoin and Ethereum are the most dominant cryptocurrencies, both accumulative account for over 90% in term of market capitalization excluding stablecoin, out of more than two thousands currently in the market. They are both in a form of digital asset that trades via various DEX or centralizated regulated trading platforms. However there are quite many key differences among them though. Bitcoin (BTC) is designed as a monetary storage (some proclaim as alternative of Gold) and medium of transaction and as an alternative to fiat currency. Ethereum (ETH), otherwise, is intended for complex smart contracts or dApps which contribute and act as key infrastructure of the emerging Web3.0 future. In light of recent rapid further innovation (like staking protocol) and adoption, the price of BTC and ETH have been risen more than double in past 12 months and also exhibited a huge volatility. The speaker will give a brief introduction of above crypto with some attention drawn to the relationship and correlation among Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold, XRP and S&P500 – as shown in below charts. The speaker will then also talk about the latest development and impacts of the recently passed GENIUS Act in U.S. and the Stablecoins Ordinance (Cap. 656) in HK. To say, Stablecoin per se. is NOT referring the price to be fixed or stable, it’s referring to link or collateralize by some tangible asse shifting from no intrinsic value issue. At 10 Oct 2025, one of most selloff in crypto, USDe has experienced flash crash to as low as 0.65 USDEUST, per shown below. Source: Bloomberg   Language: Cantonese (Supplemented with English)
