BiyaPay Analyst: Epic Milestone! Gold Hits $30 Trillion Market Cap, Bitcoin Would Need to Reach $1.5 Million to Catch Up

2025.10.17 18:08:32

On October 17th, an epic moment occurred for gold. According to CompaniesMarketCap data, with the continuous hitting of new highs in the price of gold, the global total market capitalization of gold has exceeded $30 trillion, firmly occupying the top position globally and surpassing the combined market capitalization of the top ten companies such as Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia. Based on the 216,265 tonnes of mined gold disclosed by the World Gold Council and the calculation of the real-time gold price, the safe-haven and store of value status of gold has once again been verified. Meanwhile, Bitcoin, which is hailed as "digital gold", currently has a total market capitalization of around $2 trillion. To be on an equal footing with gold, the price of a single Bitcoin would need to reach approximately $1.5 million, which is more than ten times its current price. Cathie Wood has previously predicted that the price of Bitcoin will exceed $1 million per coin by 2030. BiyaPay analysts pointed out that gold symbolizes the "anchor of trust" in the traditional financial system, while Bitcoin represents the new faith of the decentralized era. With the trend of de-dollarization, the shift of global liquidity, and the accelerated participation of institutions, the boundary between traditional and digital assets is becoming blurred. In an extremely bullish scenario, if the market progresses extremely smoothly, it may be possible to reach $1.5 million per coin by 2035-2040. BiyaPay provides investors with a global platform for simultaneously investing in gold and digital assets, supporting free conversion between various fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies, with transparent real-time exchange rate display and achieving "zero fee" spot and contract trading in the trading experience. Additionally, BiyaPay also supports direct investment in diversified assets such as US stocks, Hong Kong stocks, futures, and gold using USDT, allowing users to easily navigate between traditional and emerging markets on the same platform.

Strategy responds to reports that it may face removal from MSCI indices: Bitcoin does not need MSCI, and neither does Strategy.

Strategy issued a statement responding to the possibility of being removed from MSCI indices, stating: "Digital assets are assets. Index providers should measure the market, not decide which assets companies can hold." The firm added that MSCI’s relevant proposal is inconsistent with the direction of regulators, the market, and its own clients, emphasizing: "Bitcoin does not need MSCI, and neither does Strategy." Earlier reports noted that MSCI is soliciting feedback on a new non-operating company identification methodology, which could result in Strategy and Metaplanet being excluded from the MSCI All Country World Investable Market Index (ACWI IMI). Based on MSCI’s simulation using May 2026 data, Strategy, Metaplanet, and uranium investment firm Yellow Cake would be removed from MSCI ACWI IMI, while entities including SharpLink would be placed on the public watchlist.

Norway's sovereign wealth fund indirectly holds 11,549 BTC, marking a new all-time high.

K33 Research Head Vetle Lunde stated that as of the end of H1 2026, Norway’s sovereign wealth fund’s indirect Bitcoin exposure—via holdings in stocks of companies including Strategy, Metaplanet, MARA, Coinbase, Block, and Tesla—rose to a record high of 11,549 BTC, worth approximately $725 million. This exposure increased by 21.2% in the first half of the year and 60.5% over the past 12 months, marking its sixth consecutive reporting period of growth. Strategy accounts for nearly 86% of the fund’s indirect Bitcoin exposure, equivalent to around 9,914 BTC. As of June 30, the fund held approximately 1.17% of Strategy’s shares, valued at $357.3 million at the time. Metaplanet corresponds to 671 BTC, MARA to 421 BTC, and Coinbase, Block, and Tesla to 183 BTC, 120 BTC, and 97 BTC respectively. K33 noted that this exposure is likely not the result of the fund’s active Bitcoin allocation, but rather an indirect effect of its widely diversified portfolio. Currently, the relevant Bitcoin exposure accounts for about 0.03% of the fund’s total assets. Additionally, the fund obtained indirect Ethereum exposure for the first time via Ethereum treasury company BitMine. As of June 30, it held 6.15 million shares of BitMine, valued at $88.3 million, accounting for around 1.16% of the company’s shares; based on BitMine’s current ETH holdings, this translates to an indirect exposure of approximately 67,340 ETH.

Netanyahu is struggling in his election campaign, with Trump yet to publicly voice his support.

According to Axios, two weeks ago, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, where Trump asked Netanyahu about his poll numbers ahead of the October 27 general election. Netanyahu paused in silence for a moment before one of his advisors interjected: "Mr. President, he’s leading." Netanyahu’s lead is not substantial. Despite repeated queries from reporters, Trump has not yet provided the support Netanyahu had expected. Trump could still change his mind, but with only 75 days remaining until the election, Netanyahu is running out of time. Netanyahu’s current ruling coalition is polling at just 49 to 53 seats—far below its current 68 seats and short of the 61 seats needed to form a government. Meanwhile, Israel’s opposition holds 67 to 70 seats in surveys. Netanyahu’s main rival, former Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, has higher support in most polls. (Jinshi)

JPMorgan Chase upgrades Sandisk's rating to Overweight, with a target price of $2,250.

According to CNBC, JPMorgan Chase has upgraded its rating on SanDisk (SNDK) from Neutral to Overweight, setting a $2,250 target price that implies roughly 47% upside from Thursday’s closing level. SanDisk’s stock has surged 544% so far this year. JPMorgan analyst Harlan Sur noted that the rapid growth of AI inference is driving a structural inflection point in NAND demand, leaving SanDisk uniquely positioned to benefit. The acceleration of AI applications has lifted storage demand and created supply tightness. At its New York Investor Day, SanDisk disclosed it will adopt a new business model including structured pricing mechanisms and advance payment agreements with major clients. JPMorgan said this framework is expected to boost the company’s profit margins and reduce its business cyclicality. To date, SanDisk has signed 8 related long-term agreements, with a total contract value of approximately $94 billion based on the price floor, and a weighted average contract term of over four years. LSEG data shows that among the 25 analysts covering SanDisk, 22 have assigned a Buy or Strong Buy rating, while the remaining 3 have given a Hold rating.
