According to CoinMeta, and as reported by the South Korean newspaper "Seoul Economic Daily," as concerns about the U.S. fiscal situation intensify in the market, gold is no longer just an asset that benefits from declining interest rates; it is also seen as a tool to hedge against the depreciation of the dollar and fiscal risks.
