Gold-Broken Funds (ETFs) have overtaken Bitcoin ETFs in assets under management as investors change against the traditional secure-port active as the BTC price tumbled more than 19% over the past three months, while the precious metal climbed 12.5%.
Bitcoin ETFs, which saw significant influxes after their US launch last January, have experienced large outflows and lost about $ 3.8 billion since February 24 this year, according to Farside Investor’s data. Meanwhile, Gold ETFs recorded their highest monthly influx since March 2022 last month, according to World Gold Council.
These currents have meant that gold -Tfs have now “regained the asset crown over Bitcoin ETFs,” as Bloomberg Senior Etf Analyst Eric Balchunas said on social media.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs, built in the United States, surpassed first Gold ETFs in assets under management in December 2024, when the Cryptocurrency Market rose after Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election.
Meanwhile, gold has seen a significant race. This Friday it exceeded $ 3,000 per Ounce brand for the first time ever, with gold futures for the delivery of April that broke through the same level earlier in the week.
Market volatility and geopolitical uncertainty have helped the price of precious metal rise as the demand for a safe haven continues to grow.
