  • Technology-heavy NASDAQ-100 ETF (ticker: QQQ), which gained 1.9%

    • MSCI Latin America ETF (ticker: ILF), down 1.7%
    • Emerging Markets ETF (ticker: EEM), down 1.5%
    • This week also marked the end of the second quarter of 2025. For the quarter, Bitcoin was the top-performing asset, surging by 27%. The second-best performer was the NASDAQ-100, up 10.7%, followed by MSCI Canada, which gained 10.3%.

      Despite Bitcoin’s strong quarterly rally, its year-to-date (YTD) performance is only up 7.4%, highlighting the asset’s extreme volatility. Such volatility is often viewed as a risk factor for investors.
