💰 Hold onto your jewelry boxes! Global gold demand smashed records in 2025, surpassing 5,000 tonnes for the first time ever, according to a World Gold Council (WGC) report released Thursday. With prices setting 53 all-time highs last year, the precious metal’s total value rocketed to $555 billion – a 45% jump from previous years.
📈 The gold rush continues in early 2026, with prices flirting with $5,600 per ounce this week. Analysts say economic uncertainty and tech sector demand are fueling this "blingflation" trend. Central banks and young investors alike are doubling down on the shiny safe-haven asset.
🌍💼 "We’re seeing a perfect storm," one WGC expert told us. "From Mumbai to Manhattan, everyone wants a piece of this golden moment." Could crypto’s glitter fade as gold’s timeless appeal shines brighter? Stay tuned! ✨
