[Gold Volatility Hits Highest Level Since 2008] According to a report by Golden Finance, data shows that the 30-day volatility of gold has surged to over 44%, reaching its highest level since the 2008 financial crisis. This level surpasses Bitcoin's volatility of approximately 39%. Such a reversal is quite rare, as gold is typically regarded as a more stable store of value compared to cryptocurrencies, which are known for being highly susceptible to speculation. In the 17 years since Bitcoin's inception, gold has only had higher volatility than Bitcoin twice, the most recent instance being last May when trade tensions escalated due to tariff threats from U.S. President Trump.
