The financial landscape in 2025 has seen gold command an influence few assets can match. Its surge past $4,300 an ounce this year has become a focal point among traders who see it as a signal for what comes next across global markets.
For Levi Rietveld, the creator of Crypto Crusaders, gold’s movement is not only historic but predictive. He believes its performance is about to lift the digital asset market, with a particular focus on XRP.
Rietveld shared a video arguing that gold consistently acts as a guide for other markets. “Gold is the number one leading indicator of where the markets are going,” he said. His view extends across asset classes, claiming that it does not matter whether one looks at Bitcoin, the stock market, or real estate. According to him, gold always moves first.

Gold’s Record Performance
Gold’s rise in 2025 has been remarkable by any measure. Futures crossed $4,300 an ounce for the first time in history, marking an increase of more than 60% since the start of the year. Many analysts link this rally to global uncertainty and shifting investor sentiment toward safe assets.
However, Rietveld believes that gold is a precursor to what digital assets will do next. He pointed out that every time gold futures have reached new highs, cryptocurrencies have soon followed. “Sometimes it takes a month. Sometimes it takes two months,” he said, referencing the lag he has observed between gold’s performance and crypto market movements.

Linking Gold and XRP
While some market participants have shown many links between gold and XRP, Rietveld’s reasoning builds on the historical pattern he sees between the commodities and crypto markets. In his analysis, gold’s sustained upward trajectory often signals a renewed appetite for risk among investors once the price stabilizes. That, he believes, sets the stage for digital assets such as XRP to advance.
XRP has remained one of the most discussed assets in the digital finance space due to its connection to Ripple’s payments technology and its potential for institutional use. The correlation is not always immediate, but those who track it closely regard gold’s recent performance as an early signal of where value could move next.
While Rietveld did not provide a timeline, he expressed confidence that the gold rally will soon translate into upward pressure on XRP’s price, and many experts share this belief that something good is coming.
