In 2025, it has become one of the most actively traded assets in the world. Daily volumes around $361 billion are not hype — this is a real shift in how the market uses it.
For comparison — in 2021, daily gold trading volumes were around $134 billion. That means market activity has nearly tripled in just a few years.
And it makes sense.
Central banks are buying heavily, investors are focusing more on diversification, and most importantly, demand is growing for assets with no counterparty risk.
Gold is now operating at the same level as key parts of the financial system. And more importantly — it’s not dependent on a single scenario.
It’s not just about inflation or crisis. It works across different environments, and that’s, in my opinion, its biggest strength.
Personally, I keep saying one thing:
paper gold is great for trading, but physical gold is the only thing you truly hold outside the system. And that’s where I see its real value.
And now silver.
Compared to gold, it still looks significantly undervalued. Historically, the gold-to-silver ratio was much lower than it is today, and even from a mining perspective, we’re in a completely different place — roughly 8:1. That gap, in my view, is not sustainable long term.
To sum it up — this isn’t about gold outperforming other assets.
It’s about gold firmly returning to the center of the financial system. And rising volumes are a clear signal that it will continue to play a major role going forward.
