an asset that stands out and dominates with an increase of 62%. Therefore, it is not surprising that it was able to outperform all investment assets throughout last year, including Bitcoin ($BTC ).
This achievement can occur due to the uncertainty related to the trade tariffs imposed by the United States. In addition, massive accumulation by central banks also drove gold to soar.
On the other hand, both US stock indices Nasdaq and S&P 500 recorded increases of 20.5% and 16.6% respectively in the same year. This was driven by the euphoria of artificial intelligence (AI) narratives.
Thus, Bitcoin has become an asset whose performance is below expectations. However, there are other investment instruments that recorded a greater decline, such as the US Dollar Index (DXY) down 10% and Crude Oil plummeting 21.5%.
