Crypto is now the worst-performing major asset class since January 2025.


Meanwhile:
Silver: +107%
Copper: +66%
Gold: +60%
Nasdaq: +38%
Russell 2000: +31%
And crypto?
$BTC: -35%
$ETH: -47%
Altcoins: -57%
After such a wide performance gap, crypto is starting to look increasingly undervalued relative to other major asset classes.
The question is whether capital eventually rotates back into the sector.

This comparison is actually somewhat misleading: gold, silver, and copper are commodities, supported by industrial demand and central-bank gold purchases, while the Nasdaq is driven by earnings growth. Crypto is currently driven mainly by liquidity and lacks endogenous cash flow. It’s fair to say it’s undervalued, but a catalyst is needed for capital rotation back in, such as regulatory clarity or a new narrative. Otherwise, it could continue to move sideways with a gradual decline. Personally, I would keep some capital allocated but wouldn’t rush to make a heavy bet.

There are no perpetual winners in asset allocation; after falling for so long, it has actually become attractive.

Undervalued? They say that every time there’s a major drop, but it goes even lower every time.

Historically, crypto’s bull and bear cycles have always involved major ups and downs. The fact that it is now lagging gold, silver, and copper by so much instead suggests that pessimism has reached an extreme. Once expectations of Fed rate cuts resurface and risk appetite recovers, BTC has a good chance of being the first to rebound. The key is to avoid high leverage and patiently wait while holding spot.

First Review
Traditional assets have all risen to high levels, so capital will eventually seek out the next undervalued area. Crypto is that deepest pit—let’s slowly fill it back up.
