In 2025, Bitcoin remains behind gold’s performance, as investors seek stability amidst geopolitical issues. Gold’s price surged to 2,882 USD per ounce, increasing 9%, while Bitcoin only achieved a 3% gain, reflecting ongoing market challenges.

The U.S.-China trade conflict and Trump’s policies have significantly influenced investor behavior, favoring gold as a safe-haven asset. This trend showcases Bitcoin’s struggle to be regarded as a reliable store of value in uncertain times.

Despite its challenges, Bitcoin advocates are hopeful. The introduction of spot Bitcoin ETFs could enhance price stability and foster its growth into a recognized store of value akin to gold in the long run.
