The post Monero (XMR) Against Gold, Peter Brandt Issues Unexpected Verdict appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Monero (XMR), in the last 30 days, gained 8.18%, but it lost 3.2% in the last seven days. This volatility and the uncertainty of crypto and fiat currencies in general have prompted legendary trader Peter Brandt to drop a new perspective on benchmarking assets against gold. Is Monero bearish against gold? In a post on X, Brandt insisted, “Everything needs to be charted against Gold.

He believes that all crypto assets should be compared against gold instead of U.S. dollars, as fiat also loses value over time. The trader emphasized that gold remains the ultimate benchmark for enduring value. The goal is to help investors understand the true value of an asset and allocate funds accordingly. Interestingly, gold is currently outperforming Bitcoin so far this year, and Anthony Pompliano’s attempt to ignore this has been met with backlash from the gold community.   As of press time, Monero is changing hands at $308.65, a 0.25% decline in the last 24 hours. The asset previously hit a peak of $314.98 before experiencing a slight slip to the current level. However, trading volume has stayed green, and it is up by 2.85% to $185.02 million within the same time frame.

Meanwhile, Brandt’s view of the asset and other crypto coins has generated reactions from the online community. Notably, a trader with the user name TheMarketSniper believes that if Brandt looked at other assets, “he’d be forced to rush them out too.” He is suggesting that other assets like Tron face a similar outlook…
