Bitcoin (BTC), the leading cryptocurrency by market value, has been trading back and forth in a wide range between $50,000 and $70,000 since April. Despite several crypto-specific and macro factors consistently capping the upside, Bitcoin remains a popular choice among investors.
On the other hand, gold has experienced a surge of over 20% during the same time period, reaching new record highs above $2,700. The yellow metal has shown strong growth, up 37% this year alone.
Silver has also seen impressive gains, up 43% this year after almost touching $35 on Tuesday, marking a 12-year high. The precious metal continues to attract investors looking for alternative assets.
