Ethereum is a global, open-source platform for decentralized applications. In other words, the vision is to create a world computer that anyone can build applications in a decentralized manner; while all states and data are distributed and publicly accessible. Ethereum supports smart contracts in which developers can write code in order to program digital value. Examples of decentralized apps (dapps) that are built on Ethereum includes tokens, non-fungible tokens, decentralized finance apps, lending protocol, decentralized exchanges, and much more.  On Ethereum, all transactions and smart contract executions require a small fee to be paid. This fee is called Gas. In technical terms, Gas refers to the unit of measure on the amount of computational effort required to execute an operation or a smart contract. The more complex the execution operation is, the more gas is required to fulfill that operation. Gas fees are paid entirely in Ether (ETH), which is the native coin of the blockchain. The price of gas can fluctuate from time to time depending on the network demand.

Gold Climbs But Bitcoin Outperforms Amid Surge In Safe-Haven Demand During Trump’s Tariff Crackdown

Bitcoin outperformed gold in January, but has only gained the upper hand again after last week’s rally.

U.S. gold mining stocks rose on Friday, boosted by a climb in spot gold (XAUUSD) amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel.Newmont Corp. (NEM) rose 3.5% to $5.79, Barrick Gold (GOLD) shares gained 3.2% to $21.59, while U.S. Gold Corp. (USAU) closed 1.3% higher at $13.38 on Friday.The XAUUSD spot gold price had risen as much as $3,443.55 per ounce, just shy of the all-time high of $3,500 per&nbsp;ounce it had climbed to in April. August gold futures also rose to $3,436.90 per ounce.The escalating conflict between Iran and Israel pushed investors to seek refuge in traditional safe-haven assets like gold.The price movement came after a sharp surge on Friday, triggered by Israel’s initial strikes on Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure. The conflict has since intensified, with both Israel and Iran exchanging missile and drone attacks.Analysts believe that as long as geopolitical tensions persist,&nbsp;gold demand will likely&nbsp;stay elevated, potentially driving prices closer to the record highs seen in April.Gold prices have&nbsp;surged this year, driven by multiple factors, including a weakening U.S. dollar and uncertainty over President Donald Trump’s trade policies.&nbsp;The conflict has also pushed oil prices up, with Brent crude futures rising 0.8% to $74.85 per barrel and the U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures gaining 0.9% to $71.93 per barrel, as of 1.31 a.m. ET.The SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), which tracks gold bullion prices, was up 1.3%.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com

(EQX) stock&nbsp;fell nearly 6%&nbsp;on Thursday after the company lowered its gold production estimates for 2025.The company expects to produce between 555,000 and 625,000 ounces of gold in 2025, down from an earlier estimate of 635,000-750,000 ounces.Production at its largest mine, Greenstone, is expected to be significantly lower for the year. The revised forecast is 220,000 to 260,000 ounces, down from the earlier estimate of 300,000 to 350,000 ounces.Production at its Mesquite mine is expected to be between 85,000 and 95,000 ounces, compared to the 90,000-105,000 ounces the company had initially forecast.In 2025, 250,000 – 270,000 ounces of gold are expected from its mines in Brazil, up from the initial range of 245,000 and 295,000 ounces.President &amp; CEO Greg Smith said the ramp-up at the Greenstone mine has been slower than expected since commercial production began in Q4 2024.“Mine productivity and equipment availability, particularly with the primary loading fleet, have fallen short of plan, impacting mining rates and delaying access to higher-grade ore zones. Further, year-to-date mined grades have been below expectations, in part due to higher-than-anticipated dilution,” Smith added.One Stocktwits user believes serious operational changes are needed at the Greenstone mine.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/cg1/message/617627071</stembedurl>However, general retail sentiment for the stock on Stocktwits turned ‘bullish’ amid 'extremely high' message volumes.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:930/100;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_06_13_103014_png_a360a27c48.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-06-13 103014.png" width="930" height="100"><figcaption>EQX sentiment and message volume as of June 12 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>One user said that the company has suffered “temporary setbacks,” which will be fixed over the next few quarters.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Moonrocket_/message/617677495</stembedurl><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/EQX">Equinox Gold stock</a> has gained over 30% year-to-date as of Thursday’s close.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com
