Gold and Silver Bulls Taunt Bitcoin Investors as Precious Metals Rally Outpaces Crypto
Precious metals have staged a parabolic rally in 2025, with gold and silver hitting record highs as investors pile into safe-haven assets, while Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have underperformed for much of the year. Gold has climbed sharply on strong demand, central bank buying, and expectations of U.S. rate cuts, while silver has also surged amid industrial demand and supply constraints.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin has struggled to recover after a significant pullback from its autumn highs, with some analysts noting a divergence between the metals rally and crypto performance. This has led some gold and silver investors to publicly challenge Bitcoin holders, suggesting it’s “time to switch” from crypto to precious metals given the contrasting market trajectories.
