Why 2026 Could Be a Dream Year for Investors: And Where Bitcoin Fits In?

In hindsight, 2025 was already an incredible year for (almost) all investment assets. Unless there’s enhanced volatility in the few remaining days of 2025, the S&P 500 is about to close with an 18% surge, the Nasdaq Composite with a 22% increase, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average with a 15% jump.

And then, there are the precious metals. The two largest – gold and silver – had their best year to date, with multiple new all-time highs. Gold is up by 75% YTD, while silver has become the third-largest global asset after a 172% surge since January’s opening price as its market cap has shot up to $4.5 trillion.
