2025 marked a turning point for the US Dollar—and it wasn't pretty. The Dollar Index plummeted 9% throughout the year, delivering its worst annual showing since 2017. That's a dramatic 180-degree turn from 2024, when the currency gained 8%.

To put this in perspective: excluding 2017, you'd have to rewind all the way to 2003 to find a weaker performance. This isn't just a bad year for USD—it's a historic reversal that's reshaping how traders think about currency dynamics and what it means for cross-asset correlations moving forward.

The US dollar has dropped dramatically this round, rising 8% since last year and then reversing to plummet 9%. It's really fucking outrageous... --- Wait, is this a historic-level reversal? Those who went all-in on the dollar must be feeling really uncomfortable now. --- Starting the year 2025 so exciting, the crypto world is probably going crazy. --- Dollar collapse = other assets take off. This logic is still very clear. Whether it's good news or bad news depends on your holdings. --- Worst performance since 2022... Does it feel like the dollar era is really coming to an end? --- So, is this hinting that a new asset allocation logic is about to emerge?

The US dollar has collapsed like this... People are still hyping 2024, but the reversal has been so fierce in just one year? I’ve been saying not to go all-in on the dollar, it’s high time to diversify more into other assets.
