Bitcoin tops Bank of America's ranking as the best currency of 2025
- Bitcoin surpasses fiat currencies in appreciation this year
- Bank of America highlights 18,2% rise in BTC in 2025
- Dollar records worst performance among the 14 assets analyzed
Bank of America recognized Bitcoin as the best-performing currency of 2025, after the market's leading cryptocurrency surpassed the $120.000 mark. The assessment is part of the "Winners and Losers of 2025" report, in which the bank highlighted that BTC has appreciated 18,2% since the beginning of the year, outperforming traditional currencies such as the Swedish krona (+16,4%), the Swiss franc (+14,2%), and the euro (+13,2%).
Meanwhile, the US dollar fell 10,1%, ranking last among the 14 assets monitored in the study. The analysis highlights that the US currency's loss of strength is linked to the drop in demand for dollar-pegged assets and uncertainty about the direction of interest rates under the current administration.
The report also highlighted Bitcoin's technical strengthening, breaking above its 50-day exponential moving average—currently at $106.434—and continuing its upward trajectory with increasing volume. This behavior, according to analysts, indicates that the move isn't a one-off, but rather is supported by consolidated momentum.
BTC's Relative Strength Index (RSI) also drew attention, reaching 73,56, signaling an overbought situation. This level hadn't been seen since late May, when the asset was trading just below $110.000. Since then, the chart has shown rising peaks and troughs, reinforcing the bullish structure.
The bank's overall assessment for 2025 signals a shift in investor interest toward alternative assets like Bitcoin, especially given the weak dollar and macroeconomic uncertainty in the United States.

Fear is the biggest short! Morgan Stanley calls for bottom-fishing in semiconductors: land and electricity shortages are not a problem, approved projects can't meet demand
Morgan Stanley believes that the recent sell-off in the semiconductor sector has been excessive, and that market panic rather than fundamentals is the biggest risk. Driven by demand for AI infrastructure, downstream orders continue to accelerate, with semiconductor supply remaining the core bottleneck. LPS constraints actually make growth more stable. The sector may fluctuate within a range in the short term and is currently near the bottom; prospects for the computing power and storage subsectors are favorable.

Hashrate orders are booming, why is "AI trading" falling out of favor? JPMorgan reveals the time lag between AI investment and productivity realization
Joseph Lupton from the JP Morgan Global Economic Research Team pointed out in a research report on November 10 that recent improvements in labor productivity have been driven more by capital deepening and increased intensity of factor utilization. The broad efficiency gains from AI, resulting from process reconstruction, data integration, and organizational adjustments, will still take time to materialize. This means orders for chips, servers, and electrical equipment may grow first, but continuous investment returns for computing power operators and end users may not arrive at the same pace.
AI investment enters the "Trough of Disillusionment", the next 18 months will be a life-or-death test!
Goldman Sachs believes that the AI investment cycle is currently in the "trough of disillusionment," but this is not the first time. The core contradiction lies in the fact that the business models of new cloud computing providers are highly dependent on end-user returns from AI spending, while currently "there are basically zero companies that can attribute profits to AI." Social Capital founder Palihapitiya has clearly defined an 18-month key window, during which the market will decide which AI business models are sustainable and which are not.
