As we approach the end of 2025, significant shifts are taking place within the financial landscape. During an appearance on Scott Melker’s “The Wolf Of All Streets,” Andrew Parish, co-founder of Arch Public, highlighted how precious metals are currently outshining cryptocurrencies and discussed the potential threats looming over the global economy.
The spotlight is on gold and silver as they outperform Bitcoin dramatically. The surge in gold prices to $4,500 for the first time has taken many by surprise, while Bitcoin’s lackluster performance within a tight range of $85,000 to $90,000 has left investors feeling disheartened.
Parish emphasized that such a sharp increase in gold prices is rare and often signals impending crises—historically seen during events like the Roman Crisis, Weimar Republic hyperinflation, and the Soviet Union’s collapse.
The expert suggests that this market volatility reflects a growing distrust in global governance systems and conventional currencies among people.
With rising fears of recession gripping markets worldwide, conflicting economic indicators have emerged. The US GDP data for Q3 showed robust growth at 4.3%, surpassing forecasts. Nevertheless, Parish cautioned that without prompt interest rate reductions from the Federal Reserve, we may soon face a long-anticipated major recession.
For those invested in cryptocurrency markets, late 2025 is being characterized as an “emotional bottom.” While retail investor enthusiasm appears to be waning somewhat, it’s important to note that large institutions like BlackRock still regard Bitcoin as a key investment opportunity for this year. Parish anticipates gradual upward movement in cryptocurrency values during early 2026 but expects significant market shifts will materialize later that year.
