Bitcoin Magazine published a video post titled “James Van Straten: BTC Bull Market Has Begun Rotation from Gold Driver Back to $126K,” built around a discussion of where the money for Bitcoin’s next rally may come from.
The post says CoinDesk’s James Van Straten looked at a possible rotation out of gold, which it described as sitting about 25% below its all-time high. It also examined what a correction in U.S. equities, which the summary said were at record highs, could mean for Bitcoin.
The discussion also revisited stablecoin inflows, arguing that funds have historically trickled into Bitcoin and that the same pattern could repeat. Another segment covered Scott Bessent’s bond buybacks and the strong rally in both Bitcoin and gold that followed.
