A quite interesting betting game is currently underway in the prediction market—gold versus ETH, which one will reach $5,000 first. So far, nearly $840,000 has been committed to this wager. The market assigns a 68% probability that gold will break $5,000 first. The deadline for the bet is set for June 30, 2026; whoever reaches the target first wins. If neither reaches it by then, the stakes are settled at 50% each.

Interestingly, the price references are quite specific—gold is based on the continuous contract quotes from COMEX, while ETH prices refer to the ETH/USDT trading pair on a major exchange. This setup is likely to avoid disputes. Notably, cross-asset class predictions like this are quite rare—on one side, traditional safe-haven asset gold, and on the other, emerging crypto assets, each with their supporters.
