Bitcoin ETFs Poised to Surpass Gold Funds in Assets

Investors have poured billions into Bitcoin ETFs, narrowing the gap with gold as digital assets gain mainstream traction.

U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs now manage $120.5 billion in assets, compared to $125.7 billion held by gold ETFs as of December 17, 2024.
Bitcoin's 138% year-over-year price surge and $60 billion in inflows since January are driving rapid growth in Bitcoin ETFs.
The largest Bitcoin ETF, iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), has doubled in price and attracted $42.5 billion in inflows, now managing $57.7 billion.
Gold ETFs, despite a 27%-28% price increase this year, have experienced over $1 billion in outflows, signaling a shift in investor preference.
Analysts predict Bitcoin ETFs could surpass gold ETFs in assets within the next two years, reflecting broader institutional adoption and a changing investment landscape.
