Metal Season Outshines Crypto in 2025

[bonk]

While Bitcoin flirted with highs, precious and base metals stole the spotlight in 2025.

Gold: +72% YTD, adding $13.2 trillion in market cap

Silver: +155% YTD, now the 3rd largest global asset

Platinum: +159%, biggest annual % gain ever

Even copper surged past $12,000/ton, outperforming Bitcoin’s -6% YTD return. Analysts are calling this the “metal season”, and momentum looks set to continue into 2026.

Hard assets are proving their value as inflation and macro risks persist.
