Bitcoin And Gold Hit Historic Low Rankings In 2026

Bitcoin and gold occupy the last two spots in a ranking of 21 major asset categories since the start of 2026. This unprecedented situation in the studied series does not mean they are the worst investments in all markets, but reveals their common vulnerability to high rates. As of October 23, gold showed a 7.5% decrease since the beginning of the year, compared to a 7.3% drop for bitcoin. These performances place the two assets behind stocks, bonds, and even money market investments in the table compiled by Charlie Bilello, chief strategist at Creative Planning. The expression “worst assets of 2026” must however be nuanced. The ranking covers 21 major investment categories chosen by the strategist. It does not cover all individual stocks, all cryptocurrencies, nor commodities taken separately.
