The top asset return rankings for 2025 have been released, which is quite interesting.

Look at these numbers: silver has risen by 127.4%, gold has followed suit with a 63.2% increase, and copper is up by 40.2%. The traditional finance sector is heating up.

Looking at the stock market again, the Nasdaq is at 20.8%, the S&P 500 has gained 16.4%, and the Russell 2000 is only at 13.4%. Each increase is worse than the last.

Then there is the area of cryptocurrency assets --
$BTC fell by 9.09%, while $ETH is even worse, down by 13.62%. Altcoins have been directly halved, down by 44.5%.

To be honest, cryptocurrency assets have become the worst-performing asset class in 2025. What does this indicate? It shows that the entire market was looking at traditional assets last year. Precious metals and stocks soared, while we were getting hit.

To put it bluntly: avoiding altcoins and just holding $BTC and $ETH is already a win. The principle of asset allocation remains the old saying – if you choose the wrong direction, no amount of effort will matter.

BTC2.48%

ETH3.63%

Wow, the rise in precious metals is ridiculous, silver has taken off by 127%? Meanwhile, we're still in hell mode in encryption... TradFi is enjoying it, but we're getting hit, that's just fate. Alts down 44.5%, I just laughed, it's really a rhythm of losing everything. With the market falling like this, are there still people going all in on alts? I really don't understand. Precious metals are in demand, I'll need to reconsider my allocations next time. Bitcoin falling by 9 points isn't the worst, but combined with this big environment, it really hurts. You should listen to that saying, choosing the wrong direction really is a waste of effort.

Silver rises 127%? Are you robbing my money here? I’m still holding BTC down 9 points, this is really something. Traditional assets are taking off while we in the crypto world are eating dirt, this is called switching tracks. Alts have directly slumped 50%, I’m impressed, fortunately I didn't go all in, surviving is winning. This round of market is one word: tragic, how can anyone still dare to touch alts? I mean, how did precious metals rise so fiercely? Why didn't I think of allocating some gold earlier? BTC's drop in this wave is really acceptable, after all, it didn't have a complete wipeout like alts. When it comes to asset allocation, choosing the right direction is really damn important, clearly we chose wrong here.

Silver 127%? That's just outrageous, we're still getting hammered here. That said, avoiding shitcoins is indeed the minimum threshold for survival. The precious metals are really fierce this time, should we try a Reverse operation? The chance to buy the dip for $BTC and $ETH is here, this wave feels a bit like last year's Rebound prelude. That -44.5% for alts really has no one to save it, it's time to Cut Loss if needed. Traditional assets really aren't looking at us in Web3 this time, it's a bit heart-wrenching.

actually... silver up 127% while btc bleeding? statistically speaking that's the kind of correlation shift that keeps me up at night. not saying the thesis broke but... reminds me of UST in May. different shape, same ending probably

Silver rises 127%? Laughing to death, we're still getting beaten here --- That's why I say the crypto world should wake up, the TradFi big brothers are making money --- The altcoins' 50% slump is not unjustified, I'm already tired of that stuff --- Just hold BTC, don't think too much about it --- The rise in precious metals is incredible, when can we catch up --- Russell 2000 only rises 13%? It's like a feather --- So heartbreaking, choosing the wrong track means a year wasted --- I give full marks to the statement of not touching altcoins, finally someone made it clear --- TradFi is enjoying the ride, and we're here watching dry

When traditional assets take off, we are really in hell over here, silver has gone crazy, we still have to hold on to BTC and Ether.

Damn, silver is directly to da moon, while our BTC is still lying on the floor. Alts are really dead this time, I've said long ago not to touch them. TradFi is making a killing, why are we still here cutting loss? That's why I'm only holding BTC and ETH now, the rest are just an IQ tax. Didn't expect precious metals to be the real boss, learning and living until the end.
