According to a report by Taurex, traditional assets have outperformed cryptocurrencies since 2020. While Bitcoin's price has fallen 30% over this period, Google stock has emerged as the top-performing asset with a gain of nearly 291%. A $10,000 investment in Google at the beginning of the period would have grown to approximately $39,000.

Defence companies have also seen significant gains, with BAE Systems ranking second and Kratos Defense, RTX, General Dynamics, and AeroVironment making up the top 10 performers. The report attributes these strong performances to rising military budgets and increased security spending.
