Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It enables peer-to-peer electronic cash transactions without intermediaries like banks or governments, operating on a blockchain secured by Proof of Work mining and the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm.   With a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins and programmatic halvings every four years that reduce miner rewards, Bitcoin is designed as a deflationary digital asset often called "digital gold." Its value stems from solving the double-spending problem without trusted intermediaries, creating the first truly scarce digital asset with censorship resistance and permissionless access that no government, corporation, or individual can control.  Bitcoin operates as a decentralized peer-to-peer network where transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, distributed across thousands of computers globally. Transactions are grouped into blocks added approximately every 10 minutes through mining, where specialized computers compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles.   Bitcoin has achieved mainstream adoption through multiple vectors. The January 2024 SEC approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs opened Bitcoin investment to traditional finance participants, and corporations like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) are using Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset to protect against currency debasement, offering MSTR holders amplified exposure to Bitcoin.   The Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve with innovations like Ordinals, which emerged in January 2023 to enable NFT-like functionality directly on Bitcoin, and BRC-20 tokens, an experimental standard for creating fungible tokens using Ordinal inscriptions. BTCFi (Bitcoin Finance) represents emerging financial applications extending beyond Bitcoin's traditional role, with protocols like Babylon allowing Bitcoin holders to stake BTC to secure Proof of Stake chains.

Gold Or Silver ETFs: What Could Rally More in 2026?

Gold vs Silver ETFs in 2026: Both hit records in Dec. 2025, but silver's supply deficit and industrial demand may give SLV, SIVR an edge over GLD, IAU.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Gold futures for February 2026 deliveries jumped 1% to $4,515.2 an ounce.</li><li>Silver futures for March 2026 deliveries were up 0.8% at $69.6 an ounce.</li><li>Silver, in particular, has rallied strongly in December, hitting new highs 11 times in the month.</li></ul>Precious metals are closing the year on a powerful note, as rising investor anxiety over policy, deficits, and inflation sent gold and silver surging to fresh all-time highs on Tuesday.Spot gold (XAUUSD) rose to $4,497.69 an ounce, while spot silver (XAGUSD), which has been on a record-breaking run in December, nearly breached the $70 mark for the first time. Gold futures for February 2026 deliveries jumped 1% to $4,515.2 an ounce, while silver futures for March 2026 deliveries were up 0.8% at $69.6 an ounce.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1318/873;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Gold_Silver_spot_YTD_png_727a4ba1ef.webp" alt="Gold Silver spot YTD.png" width="1318" height="873"><figcaption>Gold and Silver spot YTD | Source: TradingView</figcaption></figure>Spot silver’s rally has seen the precious metal hit new highs 11 times in December alone.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Yardeni Forecasts $6,000 An Ounce</h2>Yardeni Research reportedly raised its gold outlook on Monday, saying the sharp rally across precious metals reflects mounting macroeconomic and policy concerns rather than a rebound in global growth.Gold prices are up about 69%, but gains in silver, platinum, and palladium have been even stronger, weakening the argument that industrial demand is driving the move. Yardeni noted that basic metals, which are closely tied to manufacturing, have lagged significantly.While central bank buying helped fuel gold’s breakout above $2,000 an ounce in early 2024, the surge in other precious metals points to broader investor unease. The firm warned that an overly stimulative mix of U.S. monetary and fiscal policy could pressure bond yields, prompting it to raise its year-end 2026 gold target to $6,000 an ounce.In an interview with CNBC-TV18 on Monday, Yardeni said that gold could climb up to $10,000 by the end of 2029.Earlier this month, J.P. Morgan Global Research forecast prices to average $5,055 an ounce by the final quarter of 2026, rising toward $5,400 an ounce by the end of 2027.&nbsp;“While this rally in gold has not, and will not, be linear, we believe the trends driving this rebasing higher in gold prices are not exhausted. The long-term trend of official reserve and investor diversification into gold has further to run. We expect gold demand to push prices toward $5,000/oz by year-end 2026,” said Natasha Kaneva, head of Global Commodities Strategy at J.P. Morgan.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Have The ETFs Done?</h2><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/GLD">SPDR Gold</a> (GLD) was up around 1% in premarket trading on Tuesday.
