Gold has stunned global markets, posting historic gains that rival Bitcoin’s entire market value in just one day.
Gold has reached a historic milestone, surging past $5,500 per troy ounce and adding an extraordinary $1.5 trillion to its market value in a single day. This one-day gain nearly equals Bitcoin’s entire market capitalization of about $1.75 trillion, underscoring gold’s renewed dominance as a store of value.
The rally has pushed gold’s total market cap to roughly $34 trillion. Silver has followed closely, rising 21.5% in one week and reaching a $6.6 trillion valuation, now ahead of Nvidia, the world’s largest public company.
This momentum is driven by the so-called “debasement trade,” as investors seek safety amid currency and macroeconomic concerns. Gold rose 64% in 2025, its strongest yearly gain since 1979, and has continued breaking records in early 2026.
Over five years, gold has outperformed Bitcoin, gaining 185.3% compared to Bitcoin’s 164%. While crypto sentiment remains cautious, institutional confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value remains strong.
