🔥 A lesson we learned in 2025 comparing crypto and precious metals. Will the scenario repeat in 2026?
🔥 During 2025, gold became one of the standout assets in the markets. It achieved an increase of over 55% and at some stages reached around 65%. This rise was driven by increasing demand from central banks, alongside a decline in the strength of the dollar and rising geopolitical risks. Silver also recorded remarkable gains exceeding 100%, and other metals like platinum and palladium saw strong increases, making precious metals top the list of best-performing assets during 2025.
🔥 In contrast, the performance of $BTC
was below expectations compared to previous years. It moved within a fluctuating range, with results varying between near-zero and negative performance at times, coupled with a noticeable decline from its higher levels. Contrary to the common narrative of cryptocurrencies outperforming, 2025 was one of the few years in which precious metals clearly outperformed Bitcoin, confirming that this year was a year of gold's return, while the role of crypto as a major driver of high returns diminished during this phase.
