Hold onto your hats! Bitcoin, gold, and silver prices are smashing records like never before. Why? Investors are nervously watching the US dollar tumble—a shocking 10% loss since 2025 began. This scary fall is pushing money away from the dollar and into precious metals and Bitcoin, the shining safe assets of the moment. Ken Griffin told Bloomberg this trend is a “debasement trade.” He explained, “We’re seeing substantial asset inflation away from the dollar as people are looking for ways to effectively de-dollarize, or de-risk their portfolios vis-a-vis US sovereign risk.” In simple terms, people want to protect their money from the dollar’s weakness. The price of Bitcoin blitzed past $126,000, while gold and silver prices sprinted higher too. This rally is powered by hopes that the Federal Reserve might cut interest rates soon, and worries caused by the ongoing federal government shutdown, reports Coinspeaker. Griffin added, “US fiscal and monetary policies now resemble those usually seen in a recession, which is boosting demand for safe assets.” It means the US economy looks shaky, so investors want to play it safe. The US dollar’s huge role as the world’s reserve currency is slipping badly. As of Q2 2025, the dollar’s share dropped to 56.3%, its lowest level since 1994. Since 2000, the dollar’s share slipped by 16 points from 85% back in 1977! Experts warn this might go below 50% in just five years if this continues. The Kobeissi Letter said, “Safe havens, risky assets, real estate, crypto, global bond yields, and everything in between is hitting daily record highs, as stated in the report by Coinspeaker. The denominator for most assets, in this case the US Dollar, is what has changed. The US Dollar is on track for its worst year in 40+ years, down -10% YTD.” What a rollercoaster! Even Bitcoin ETFs are getting a huge rush of cash. BlackRock’s IBIT grabbed almost $1 billion on October 6, 2025 alone. FAQs Q1. Why are Bitcoin, gold, and silver rising in 2025? A1.
