Goldman Sachs Projects Gold Price to Reach $4,500 Per Ounce

Cryptocurrencies backed by gold, such as Paxos Gold and Tether Gold, have matched or outperformed the growth of gold prices. The gold spot price surged approximately 24% this year, while $PAXG increased about 23%, and $XAUT also rose by 24%.

Key points include:

• Bitcoin fell around 12% year-to-date.
• The overall crypto market capitalization dropped nearly 30%.
• Gold ETFs saw inflows of about 226.5 tonnes in Q1 2023.
• Goldman Sachs raised its year-end gold price target to $3.7K per ounce, up from previous estimates of $3.1K and $3.3K.
• UBS updated its 2025 gold projection from $3.2K to $3.5K.
• The US government debt could reach 169% of GDP by 2055, impacting interest rates and inflation.

As uncertainty grows, hard assets like $BTC and gold may become more appealing. Investing in presale cryptocurrencies can offer diversification with lower risk due to their non-listed status.
