June 18, 2026. That’s the day gold quietly lost a race it had been winning since January 2025. For 17 months, precious metals were the default trade on crypto exchanges pushing into stocks, gold, forex. Then gold’s own rally rolled over trading volume down 48% off its March peak
AI visual note: The image is a data visualization titled "The crossover — gold lost its lead, twice," showing that precious metals' CEX TradFi trading volume fell from $236.76B in March '26 to $122.59B in June '26 (-48.2%), while US stocks surged from $43.40B to $189.84B (+337.4%), with stocks overtaking metals in open interest on June 18, 2026 ($2.01B vs. $1.69B). Key statistics include $186.32B (Feb '26 alone) vs. $135.47B (all of 2025), and a market-share chart showing MEXC holding 35.4% of the metals market from Feb '25 onward. The post illustrates how US stocks surpassed precious metals twice in June 2026—first in volume, then in open interest—after a 17-month run that collapsed alongside the March gold peak.
