2025 wrapped: A tale of diverging markets.



Crypto took a beating across the board. Bitcoin down 6%, Ethereum sliding 12%, while altcoins got hit hardest at -40%. Not exactly the narrative bulls were hoping for.

Meanwhile, traditional assets painted a different picture. Gold surged 65%, silver climbed 130%—precious metals had their moment. Copper gained 35%. On the equity side, NASDAQ added 20%, S&P 500 +16%, Russell 2000 +13%.

Here's the thing worth watching: 2026 could flip the script. After a brutal year for digital assets, capital rotation back into crypto isn't just possible—it's likely. When alternative assets outperform, dry powder eventually seeks new opportunities. The setup for a crypto comeback is quietly building.
BTC0,41%

Wait, I need to take a close look at this fund flow... Precious metals surged by 65-130%, while crypto declined across the board? The rotation logic behind this is a bit too neat. According to on-chain data, this kind of inverse movement usually indicates that big players are quietly accumulating, a clear pattern of fund correlation.

Gold, silver, and precious metals are so hot, why is no one withdrawing physical gold to avoid the risk...

Wow, the recent surge in precious metals is unbelievable... Silver up 130%? No wonder at the beginning of the year, a bunch of people went all in on precious metals.

Damn, the surge in precious metals is insane. My crypto assets were completely wiped out.
