Gold to $3,500? Citigroup Predicts – Bitcoin Hits $114,000 as Weak Jobs and Tariff Concerns Spur Flight to Safe-Haven Assets
Citigroup (NYSE:C) on Monday raised its three-month gold price forecast to $3,500 per ounce, up from $3,300, citing a weakening U.S. economic outlook, persistent inflation, and growing geopolitical uncertainty.
Amid market volatility, gold is trading in an expanded range of $3,300–$3,600, according to Reuters, while Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) remains resilient, hovering around $114,413 and up 4.3% over the past week. Bitcoin’s market capitalization has now surpassed $2.27 trillion.
Executive Order 14178 Spurs Regulatory Clarity for Crypto
In early 2025, former U.S. President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 14178 (EO 14178), directing key financial agencies—including the Treasury, SEC, CFTC, and Federal Reserve—to coordinate a unified strategy on digital asset policy. This marks a major shift in the U.S. approach to cryptocurrency: from regulatory ambiguity to formal economic integration.
EO 14178 emphasizes the country’s need to lead in “on-chain finance,” with a focus on Bitcoin, stablecoins, and digital asset infrastructure. This shift toward institutionalization is accelerating the adoption of blockchain technologies, particularly in sectors like cloud mining.
Understanding Cloud Mining
Cloud mining allows users to participate in cryptocurrency mining without owning or managing physical mining hardware. Through remote data centers and pre-set contracts, investors can access mining power via the internet, bypassing the traditional barriers of high capital expenditure and technical complexity.
As regulatory frameworks evolve and Bitcoin’s price continues to rise, cloud mining offers a compliant and energy-efficient alternative for both retail and institutional participants in the crypto ecosystem.
