Abstract

This study aims to compare the investment performance of Decentralized Finance (DeFi), equities (IHSG), and gold during the 2021–2024 period, which represents a full market cycle characterized by high volatility and economic uncertainty. The research objective is to evaluate differences in return, risk (volatility), risk adjusted performance, and inter asset correlations to assess portfolio diversification potential. A quantitative comparative approach is employed using monthly secondary data, analyzed through descriptive statistics, non-parametric difference tests, and correlation analysis. The findings indicate statistically significant differences among the three investment instruments. Gold demonstrates the highest risk efficiency and consistently performs as a safe haven asset. Equities show moderate stability but relatively lower risk adjusted performance. In contrast, DeFi records the highest average returns, accompanied by extreme volatility and low efficiency. Correlation results reveal a strong positive relationship between gold and equities, while DeFi exhibits significant negative correlations with both assets, indicating diversification potential despite elevated systemic risk. This study concludes that gold remains the most resilient investment asset, equities serve as a balanced growth instrument, and DeFi should be positioned as a high risk speculative asset rather than a core portfolio component.
