2025 is dubbed a "historic year" for precious metals, with both international gold and silver experiencing their largest annual gains since 1979.

According to Chao News, a netizen posted their earnings over the past year on social media, stating that they started buying gold in February last year. "This year, I made nearly 700,000 yuan from gold, and it's a pity I didn't heavily invest in silver." Chao News reporter noted that on just one platform, they purchased over 1.2 million yuan worth of gold, with profits exceeding 300,000 yuan.

Looking back at the past year's investments, Lin Yue (pseudonym) is very glad he heavily invested in gold. Starting to buy gold intermittently from the beginning of last year, he accumulated nearly 500,000 yuan in various gold investments, including physical gold. As gold prices surged, Lin Yue gained over 100,000 yuan in profits, "Glad that I firmly believed in the upward trend of gold."
