When it comes to Bitcoin, this is why I don't joke with it, because it has every tendencies of making you realize the desired profits from anything that relates to its investments, but this time around, it's not about bitcoin investment, instead the bitcoin spot ETF which has proven to be more profitable with more inflow than gold of recent.

If Bitcoin ETF could be this increasing  with inflows than gold in a couple of days, don't you think bitcoin investors would have been more profitable for holding over a long time if we consider it's market volume and cap.

If you're not investing and holding, then ask yourself what else are you doing, because bitcoin is a profitable asset than many other assets some are investing in.

According to a report from K33 Research, Bitcoin ETFs have surpassed gold ETFs since December 2024. But after the trade war broke out, demand for gold suddenly increased while bitcoin was dumped causing bitcoin ETFs to slightly decrease. But in just five weeks of May, bitcoin ETFs added $9 billion, helping bitcoin ETFs surpass gold once again.

ETFs still remain one of the best things that happened to Bitcoin. Among other things, it has helped in reassuring people that Bitcoin is a good asset to  make big investments in and your money will not be lost but will yield good return on imvestment.

More people will join the moving train, it's a matter of time. It is my believe that we are going into the era in which countries will be keeping their reserve in bitcoin as they do with gold now.

Can't deny the ETF was such a good success, there were many people who are doubtful but now here we are.
Though to be fair, right now nobody is seeking gold because it's already too overpriced, back then when tariff was announced for the first time and war broke out gold also become the popular asset to invest in.
Regardless it's declining because it has reached ATH and going down again for correction.

I remember when the ETF was approved, many people were critical and did not believe that it would have a significant impact and was not beneficial for bitcoin. But maybe now they have realized its potential and what it can bring to bitcoin.

Though to be fair, right now nobody is seeking gold because it's already too overpriced, back then when tariff was announced for the first time and war broke out gold also become the popular asset to invest in.
Regardless it's declining because it has reached ATH and going down again for correction.

People tend to look to gold and turn to gold when tariff wars break out or whenever the economy is unstable, because they are looking for a safe haven for their assets . They are not looking for an investment because most of us know that gold is stable and is considered a store of value, a safe haven rather than an investment.

Even without bitcoin, investors still tend to invest more in speculative assets like  stocks than in gold . So I'm not surprised by news like this.

That is why we have bitcoin ETF and not gold ETF.

Bitcoin in many ways surpasses gold.

Bitcoin ETF is not bitcoin investment itself, but an adoption of bitcoin in determining for the market price, worth or value of some of the commodity assets of investment with some of the centralized institutions, so i see it as an increasing pace to the use case of bitcoin, being applicable in diverse setting or facets of economic performance by its price, this also shows how people have cherished, valued and appreciated the presence of bitcoin and its corresponding market price being a volatile one on their financial economy standings.

Of course that is how it has been projected in the Bitcoin investment plans, perhaps it states it is not a get quick rich but can grow you riches when hodl while minded on the market price and until it is increased, Investors can not be boast of profits because the value of their assets can only increase when price of Bitcoin increases too which even without the ETF, there are still other factors that can boost Bitcoin market given investors the opportunity of accounting profits.

If you're not investing and holding, then ask yourself what else are you doing, because bitcoin is a profitable asset than many other assets some are investing in.

Don't prioritize success to Bitcoin because anyone who is not investing on Bitcoin is not missing heaven because there are certain notable wealthy people who don't invest in Bitcoin but are in the global billboard wealth people.

But the honest truth is that anyone who had got the opportunity to invest on Bitcoin earlier but has neglected it and later on investing in it lately due to skeptic and ignorance are always feeling like missing the opportunity of benefiting from Bitcoin all those while in the past because when you understand the potential resources of Bitcoin, there will always be need to own some because the jackpot day can come anytime which only active hodlers will benefit it and that is why we seriously need to be disciplined and be determined to stick to positive speculations that would rather encourage us to be patient than that negatively manipulating our minds on the market sentiments.

I have to say, I was sceptical too, when it came to ETF's, in the very beginning before they were launched and all the hype was buzzing around them. But yeah, they have indeed been a huge success and that success has not slowed down. It just keeps going and going.

As far as gold goes, it is totally overrated. I would prefer a Bitcoin ETF investment over a gold investment (although Bitcoin investment is still the best option).

The progress of Bitcoin became realistic more after the approval of the spot Bitcoin ETFs by US security and exchange commission, ever since then the inflows of the ETFs always have great impact in the price of Bitcoin and if not for trading activities the market would have gotten an incredible ATH and investors make more profits in the long term. If all the Bitcoins that investors bought were still intact without being sold, it would have reached a different milestone by now. In the coming days, there will still be more ETFs inflows  than gold and it's just a matter of time and years for Bitcoin's market cap to surpass that of gold.

ETFs are just one type of investment fund and reflect only a small portion of the demand for assets. There are a lot of people investing in gold and bitcoin outside of ETFs. Therefore, we cannot assess the demand and capitalization of gold or bitcoin based solely on data from ETFs.

According to the World Gold Council, the total amount of gold held by ETFs is 3,445 tons while the total circulating gold supply worldwide is more than 200 thousand tons. That means people still tend to invest in gold by holding physical gold (jewelry, gold bars...) more than investing in gold through ETFs.

Additionally, the large amount of money pouring into bitcoin through ETFs is both good news and worrying news as it seems the world is more interested in bitcoin's profitability than its decentralization. Not many people care about "not your keys, not your bitcoins" as much as we think.

This is true because why is gold still number 1 then according on this statistic https://companiesmarketcap.com/assets-by-market-cap. It is possible to assess a data and it is also possible to combine the ETF and the non-ETF data when making a comparison even not official.

According to the World Gold Council, the total amount of gold held by ETFs is 3,445 tons while the total circulating gold supply worldwide is more than 200 thousand tons.

You mentioned circulating supply there, but from the word "circulate" this made me think they are active and not the ones that people holds. Gold is not really a currency just like BTC anyway, so yeah that many people still prefer to HoDl it or just display it, you know as an accessory. Onto BTC, even before ETF came, lots of people are already treating their BTC like an asset. So, you should not worry anymore. It doesn't mean they don't like decentralization though. Don't forget many still hold the traditional way.

Sadly, Bitcoin isn't any more of a currency than gold for people investing in ETFs anyway. So a wee bit pointless to make that comparison. Think we go through the forum you even see people speak condescendingly on people who use their BTC on spends. Silly us, eh?

[Frankolala]

Bitcoin ETF have helped in the increase on the rate of bitcoin adoption because the skeptical people who don't have the confidence of being their own bank will buy from the ETFs and keep their funds with them. Bitcoin ETF has added more value to bitcoin price and has also made more people see the reason why they should adopt bitcoin because it's traded publicly and has been approved by the government that bitcoin is worthy to be amongst one of the best assets in the world. I am not surprised that ETF inflows have surpass that of gold. I also believe in the future to come which I don't know when, bitcoin market cap will surpass gold since only a little percentage of people have adopted bitcoin.

There's no denying it, it was one of the catalyst as even pre-halving time, we have reach a new all time high thanks to ETF. And I think it will still continue as there are a lot of rich people who wanted to continue to grow their money by investing or having someone invest for them thru ETF.

More people will join the moving train, it's a matter of time. It is my believe that we are going into the era in which countries will be keeping their reserve in bitcoin as they do with gold now.

And we might have a lot of smart investors who switches to Bitcoin this time. But this smart investors remains quiet and silent and they don't want their names to surface. But there could be obvious investors as well who are proud to be called Bitcoin investors. Nevertheless, it's a win win for them and for us as it triggered the price to continue to increase. And so long term holders are going to maximized their profits.

The ETF of course as an entity spotting financial potentials in identifying and allocating assets and outlining it performances by Speculations has so much contributed to the realization of bitcoin global adoption and it hedge of suitable values as it's today because it also derived the interest of the institutional investors to had invested on bitcoin fuming reliability of investors to hold their assets in the blockchain for a long period of time without panic of opting out even while the market is highily volatile..

More people will join the moving train, it's a matter of time. It is my believe that we are going into the era in which countries will be keeping their reserve in bitcoin as they do with gold now.

The following is a compiled data details about Bitcoin reserves interest gains momentum across 5 continents  and the number of countries we see coming forth as a result of bitcoin price flying high is definitely above what we'd be expecting in the closet.

BTC should be used. It is its purpose to be used in such a manner.

For now, it's seen more as a store of value, true - but things change, ever so slightly.

I don't think approving a bitcoin ETF will have any impact on banks, nor will it cause bank skeptics to invest in bitcoin. If someone doesn't trust banks anymore, they should invest and own real bitcoin, not through ETFs. Bitcoin ETFs are also centralized platforms like banks.

Bitcoin ETF has added more value to bitcoin price and has also made more people see the reason why they should adopt bitcoin because it's traded publicly and has been approved by the government that bitcoin is worthy to be amongst one of the best assets in the world.

Bitcoin ETFs do not add value to bitcoin, because even without ETFs, bitcoin's value will still increase over time and its value is determined by its use case and real-world applications...

I am not surprised that ETF inflows have surpass that of gold. I also believe in the future to come which I don't know when, bitcoin market cap will surpass gold since only a little percentage of people have adopted bitcoin.

But the question is when will that happen, 10 years from now or 100 years from now? Because the gap between them is still very large.

[el kaka22]

This one must be as per our speculation on this same exact section, probably time frame is the only difference. Yeah, it is expected that people to choose the asset with high ROI. But, for the people from tier2 and tier3 countries, gold must be still an attractive asset to invest with. Because, other than recent leap of gold, gold price in dollars has not produced any big returns for tier1 people. This must be the same reason why bitcoin ETF is more attractive in US than gold ETF in other countries.

Still, I could not see the impact of high demand of bitcoin ETF in real bitcoin market. I may be wrong because bitcoin's recent rally from 92k to 110k might have been triggered by these ETF inflow. But, if right now bitcoin is trading above 120k or 150k, then I might not have any doubt on higher inflow in bitcoin ETF.

For now, it's seen more as a store of value, true - but things change, ever so slightly.

It can be treated in any way we wanted to, but first it was really design to be a payment scheme. But we all know that it has evolved already. And now it became a ETF, a instrument to make more money or as a investment vehicle.

But as far as going in par with Gold, really depends on the investors, on when they think their money is safe. Both has it's strong points, like Gold has been with us and has proven as a safe haven. On the contrary, in the last 10 years of Bitcoin, it has become the best asset in the world. So with that, maybe it's just a matter of time before Bitcoin becomes the top dog of investment for all we know.

Gold is declining now with silver and platinum appreciating instead, gold has been a top performer from before covid upto now and I think will remain relatively near its ATH.
   BTC rising makes more sense in that context, I would still say gold is doing great probably for years yet but not at the same rate of gain as recently or it would be in danger of becoming parabolic which can lead to a collapse from over-speculation something BTC does more often.
