Or: Trump Revives The Audit Of Fort Knox, The Markets Are In A Frenzy!

Or: Trump Revives The Audit Of Fort Knox, The Markets Are In A Frenzy!

Fort Knox, the golden sanctuary where America hides its reserves, is suddenly in the spotlight. Donald Trump promises to uncover its secrets. Prediction markets are going wild: bets on an audit before May 2025 are skyrocketing to 70%. Between skepticism and speculative fever, one question looms: what do the walls of this legendary bunker really hide?

The awakening of a myth 

On February 19, Trump drops a media bomb: “We will check if the gold is there.” A terse statement, but loaded with implications. Behind this announcement lies an astonishing mix of unlikely actors: the blog ZeroHedge, libertarian senator Rand Paul, and Elon Musk, who has just unveiled his Grok 3 , always on the lookout for upheavals. This trio transforms a simple bureaucratic routine into a real financial thriller, captivating attention and fueling speculation.

Why this obsession ? The last audit dates back to 1974. Half a century of opacity. Trump, as a pragmatic showman, plays on two fronts: reassuring traditionalists and enticing crypto-anarchists. “If there is no gold, we will be very disappointed,” he hints, between threat and confidence. A phrase that makes the markets tremble.

The crypto community rejoices. For them, Fort Knox symbolizes everything Bitcoin rejects: opacity, centralization, blind trust. “Gold can lie, the blockchain cannot,” forums proclaim. A cruel irony: the audit of an ancestral metal inadvertently becomes a marketing argument for digital assets. 

Prediction Markets: The Fever of Digital Gold  

On Polymarket, a crypto betting platform, the event is selling like hotcakes. Odds are rising in real-time: 64% chance of an audit before May, 17% for missing reserves. Dry numbers, but revealing a latent distrust. Every dollar bet is a vote against the status quo.

In the shadows, Kalshi, Polymarket’s rival, is preparing its counter-offensive. Brandon Beckhardt, head of growth, promises operational markets by February 20. The race is on: who will capture the collective anxiety better than the other? The platforms are turning uncertainty into a financial product. A dangerous game, but profitable. 

Meanwhile, the XRP ETF 2025 sees its approval odds jump to 81% on the same markets. Coincidence? Not really. The Fort Knox audit acts as a catalyst, revealing a thirst for transparency that benefits assets continuously audited.
