- Bitcoin’s 18.2% year-to-date gain has beaten all major fiat currencies, including the krona and franc
- The report comes as BTC’s price is surging, hitting a new all-time high above $117,000 this week
Bank of America has ranked Bitcoin as the best-performing currency of 2025, with its 18.2% year-to-date gain outpacing every major fiat currency.
The bank’s new “2025 Cross-Asset Winners & Losers” report, published on July 9, provides a powerful stamp of approval from Wall Street. This validation comes as Bitcoin’s price is surging, breaking past $117,000 on Friday to set a new all-time high.
The Rankings: Bitcoin Beats All Major Fiat Currencies
Bank of America’s FX ranking table shows Bitcoin has delivered stronger returns than both traditional safe-haven currencies and the currencies of most G10 nations. Its 18.2% gain places it firmly above the Swedish krona (+16.4%), the Swiss franc (+14.2%), and the euro (+13.2%).
The U.S. dollar, by contrast, recorded a 10.1% loss YTD, placing it last among the 14 listed asset classes in BofA’s ranking. Analysts attribute this decline to changing global interest rate expectations and reduced demand for dollar-denominated assets.
The Market Agrees: Bitcoin Surges to New All-Time High
Meanwhile, on July 11, 2025, Bitcoin surged by 1.68% in a single day, adding $1,948 and closing at $117,979. This move came with strong volume activity, as 996 BTC changed hands on the day.
The breakout took Bitcoin well above its 50-day exponential moving average, which now sits at $106,434. This upward move signals renewed bullish strength and follows a period of steady price gains since early June. The current price stands far above the mid-June range near $100,000, suggesting increased momentum.
Bitcoin’s relative strength index (RSI) climbed to 73.56, entering overbought territory. This reading reflects strong demand but also indicates the asset may face short-term resistance if buying pressure cools. The RSI has not been this high since late May, when the price stalled near $110,000.
Bitcoin now trades at its highest level. The chart shows a clear upward trend, with consistent higher highs and higher lows. Market structure remains bullish, and the breakout came with rising volume, confirming strength behind the move.
