Gold, silver, and Bitcoin are all outperforming the broader market so far in 2025, with year-to-date (YTD) returns of 42%, 52%, and 17%, respectively.

Of course, there are ongoing debates about how high the precious metals rally can soar and whether cryptocurrencies may be destined for a correction, so caution is always warranted.
