Someone conducted a five-year investment experiment, and the results are quite interesting.

Suppose you took $100,000 in 2020 and invested it separately into US blue-chip stocks, gold, and several mainstream cryptocurrencies—what would things look like today?

The data is actually somewhat mind-blowing—it's not surprising that crypto assets overall outperformed traditional markets, but I really didn't expect TRX to take first place. Over five years, it multiplied 9.37 times, leaving a bunch of established assets far behind.

This rate of return would be explosive in any asset class. Those stable blue-chip stocks and safe-haven gold were no match at all during this cycle. Of course, the volatility behind those high returns is no joke either, but from a purely numerical perspective, public chain tokens performed way beyond what many people expected in this cycle.

When it comes to investing, sometimes picking the right track is more important than hard work. The traditional logic of stable allocation in finance might need to be re-examined in the crypto market.
