The year 2025 will go down in the history of precious metals. While most investor attention focused on gold’s record highs, silver quietly wrote its own story – and&nbsp;far more dramatically. In&nbsp;December, the price of silver broke the $60 per ounce mark for the first time in modern history, a&nbsp;milestone that confirms silver is no longer playing second fiddle but is becoming an equal driver of the precious-metals market.

The gold price surged as high as USD&nbsp;4,400 per ounce, and its subsequent decline can be viewed as a&nbsp;healthy correction, reflecting not only profit-taking by short-term and speculative investors, but also several positive shifts in the geopolitical and&nbsp;macroeconomic landscape.

The revolutionary InGold&nbsp;PAY® system operated by IBIS&nbsp;InGold, a&nbsp;pioneer of innovative solutions for investment in precious metals, has reached a&nbsp;significant milestone. At the end of August&nbsp;2025, the total volume of transactions carried out by customers in gold accounts surpassed EUR&nbsp;20&nbsp;million.

In a&nbsp;world where money supply is expanding without real backing and&nbsp;fiat currencies are losing value, gold offers time-tested protection and&nbsp;serves as an independent anchor of stability. Its limited supply and&nbsp;independence from political cycles make it an ideal tool for diversifying reserves. As central banks stockpile gold as a&nbsp;modern safeguard against uncertainty, ordinary investors should also consider including it in their portfolios. Not just for potential profit, but, more importantly, for stability in turbulent times. Gold is the return to certainty the world needs.

The year 2025 will be recorded in investment history as a&nbsp;period in which the position of gold in investor portfolios changed definitively. The price of gold surged above USD&nbsp;4,400 per ounce and&nbsp;— more importantly&nbsp;— has maintained these levels despite mixed signals from the U.S. central bank (the Federal Reserve). According to Bloomberg, this development does not indicate merely a&nbsp;short-term market reaction, but rather a&nbsp;deeper, structural trend that is redefining the importance of gold in modern investment practice.
