In April 2025, Bitcoin outshone gold, traditionally a safe-haven asset, amid economic turmoil spurred by U.S. tariff announcements. Bitcoin delivered nearly double the returns of gold, growing by 12% as investors hedged against policy risks. The tech-heavy Nasdaq regained pre-tariff levels, while the U.S. dollar dropped in value, leading investors to shift towards Bitcoin and other safe-haven assets. Trump’s pro-crypto stance also bolstered Bitcoin, making it an attractive alternative for investors.

The price of gold has increased by 41% in the past year, reaching Rs 49,240 for 10 grams in the spot market. Rising gold prices have attracted investor attention, especially during uncertain times when other assets decline. The uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, global economic slowdown, geopolitical risks, and increased liquidity in the global economy have all contributed to the rise in gold prices.
