2025 turned out to be a landmark year for gold. The metal hit record highs repeatedly throughout the year, completely reshaping how both retail and institutional investors think about it. Gold moved from the sidelines straight to center stage in global financial markets.

What really caught everyone's attention? The flood of money into physically-backed gold ETFs. Institutional capital kept flowing in, signal something bigger happening—traditional finance is rethinking how to hedge against uncertainty. Whether it's geopolitical tension, currency concerns, or just portfolio rebalancing, institutions are clearly betting on the yellow metal as a store of value that actually matters.

Institutions finally realize that gold is still a hard currency, much more reliable than that pile of digital paper notes.

Institutions are all buying the dip in gold, and now traditional finance is starting to panic.

If I had known earlier, I would have gone all in on gold. Now watching institutions疯狂 buy-in, I, as a retail investor, am really bleeding... If only I had listened to those bullish voices on gold last year, I would be so much better off now. I'm now so regretful I feel like my intestines are turning green. Institutions saw through it long ago, but we're still hesitating—typical latecomers. Why can they scoop the bottom while we can only watch the show... Missing this wave of the market truly means there's no turning back. When gold took off, I was still bearish.
