At the annual Ethereum Community Conference on Wednesday, June 2, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin called out the growing trend toward centralization in crypto.

Bitcoin sank on Thursday and Friday, continuing its decline for much of the past week as investors pivoted away from the world’s most valuable cryptocurrency in favor of the most traditional safe haven asset: gold. This recent trend appeared to restore the paths that the two assets have traveled for most of 2025, with gold’s gains outpacing those of BTC.  “There’s no denying it, gold had a great year. Especially during the tariffs—even if you’re a hardcore Bitcoiner, you have to respect what gold did in the first quarter,” Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas told Decrypt.  The two assets have…
