- Egg prices have surged from $4.85 to $8.15 per dozen since January, outperforming major cryptocurrencies despite Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance.
- The Trump administration has promised a national cryptocurrency stockpile including BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, and ADA, yet most crypto assets have declined in value this year.
- XRP is the only top-five non-stablecoin cryptocurrency that has appreciated in 2024, though still underperforming eggs, while the S&P 500 has remained relatively flat.
In a surprising market trend, eggs have emerged as a better investment than Bitcoin and most major cryptocurrencies in 2025, despite the Trump administration’s unprecedented focus on digital assets. Since January, the price of a dozen large white eggs has soared from $4.85 to $8.15, representing a significant gain that has outpaced both crypto markets and traditional stock indices.
President Trump had pledged to quickly reduce grocery prices, including eggs, but supply constraints due to avian flu have instead pushed prices dramatically higher. Meanwhile, the administration has positioned cryptocurrency as a central focus, with plans more extensive than any previous White House.
The Trump administration has notably promised a national stockpile of cryptocurrencies that would include bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), Solana (SOL), XRP, and Cardano (ADA). This approach represents a significant shift in federal policy toward digital assets.
Despite this government attention, most major cryptocurrencies have disappointed investors in 2025. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance Coin (BNB), and Solana have all declined in value since January. XRP stands as the only top-five non-stablecoin cryptocurrency to appreciate this year, though its gains still fall short of the remarkable rise in egg prices.
Traditional markets haven’t fared much better. The S&P 500 index has significantly underperformed eggs throughout 2024, remaining essentially flat while egg prices continued their ascent.
Market conditions deteriorated further following Trump’s implementation of 25% general tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico, expanding the trade conflicts he had previously promised during his campaign.
Adding to investor concerns, Elon Musk, has warned that the administration’s governmental changes could cause “economic hardship.” This economic pain appears to be affecting both traditional food commodities and digital assets like bitcoin.
