Gold ETFs do not appeal to investors seeking digital asset exposure, unlike Bitcoin which has rapidly gained popularity among them. Gold ETFs took five years to reach $20 billion in inflows. Bitcoin ETFs have already exceeded this mark in less than a year.

Bitcoin ETFs’ Fast Growth

Bitcoin ETFs have attracted more than $21 billion in inflows since January 2024. This fast expansion is uncommon when compared to conventional types of assets. BlackRock and Grayscale are leading the ETF market in terms of inflows. 

Other funds have also experienced similar high levels of investment. Investors have poured in billions weekly, with recent weeks seeing more than $2 billion in inflows. Bitcoin’s digital asset status and potential high returns are driving this growth. 

Gold ETFs’ Slower Rise

Gold ETFs have also experienced growth, but at a slower pace. They are favored by conservative investors seeking secure assets. During periods of economic uncertainty, gold exchange-traded funds such as SPDR Gold Shares have consistently experienced increased investments.

Gold ETFs have recently shown consistent growth, particularly in North America. Yet, Gold ETFs have not been able to keep up with Bitcoin’s rapid inflow attraction. 

Why Bitcoin is Leading

Investors looking to diversify their portfolio are increasingly interested in Bitcoin ETFs. The volatility of the traditional market makes investors believe that Bitcoin will revolutionize the way investments are made. 

Investors were positively influenced by the approval by regulators of spot Bitcoin ETFs. Both institutions and individual retail investors are increasing the demand. Consequently, Bitcoin ETFs attract a larger amount of capital compared to Gold ETFs.
