Not gas, not oil, and not gold. A commodity has been named that is increasing in value even faster than Bitcoin.

Côte d'Ivoire, the world's largest producer of cocoa beans, is suffering from adverse weather.

As of the end of 2024, cocoa beans showed the strongest price increase among all global assets, outpacing other leaders — Bitcoin and the US stock market.

Since the beginning of 2024, cocoa beans have more than doubled in price, and on December 18, their prices reached a new historical maximum — $12,930 per ton, reports MarketWatch.
