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.
