Bitcoin has been struggling to keep up with gold in terms of performance in 2025. Geopolitical instability and Trump's trade war policies have caused investors to turn to traditional safe-haven assets, leading to gold's rally and record-breaking price. Gold has surged 9% year-to-date while bitcoin has only gained 3% and is 10% below its peak. Bitcoin is still seen as a risky asset rather than a true hedge against fiat currency, unlike gold. However, some advocates believe that spot Bitcoin ETFs could help stabilize its price and eventually make it a true store of value like gold.
