Gold Outperforms Bitcoin in 2025, Proving Its Age-Old Legacy as Safe Haven

Gold prices have reached a historic milestone, exceeding $3,500 per ounce – an astonishing 100 times higher than the $35 level set when the U.S. abandoned the gold standard in 1971. This remarkable surge is outpacing Bitcoin’s performance, which has lagged behind, especially over longer periods. Gold has climbed 85% since its peak in November 2021, while Bitcoin has only gained 61%. The gap highlights the resilience of traditional precious metals like gold during times of market volatility.
