With $129.25 billion in AUM, Bitcoin ETFs have surged ahead of gold ETFs, which hold $128.88 billion.

Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have now surpassed gold ETFs in total assets under management (AUM), growing at an astonishing 20 times the rate of gold ETFs over the past 12 months. According to data from K33 Research, Bitcoin ETFs have surged ahead with $129.25 billion in AUM, compared to the $128.88 billion held by gold ETFs.

This rapid adoption of Bitcoin ETFs showcases the keen interest from investors seeking exposure to cryptocurrency markets. The trend is poised to reshape how markets value traditional and digital assets.

Gold ETFs, which have long been the top asset in ETFs, symbolized stability and wealth preservation. However, Bitcoin has shifted the landscape.

Bitcoin ETFs attained a new milestone, surpassing gold ETFs in total AUM. Notably, Bitcoin achieved this accolade in 12 months, while gold ETFs took two decades to reach the same level of AUM.

This disparity in the time frame highlights the exceptional rate of adoption for Bitcoin ETFs.

Moreover, the achievement marks a significant shift in investor preferences, with digital assets emerging as a new frontier for investment strategies. The implications extend beyond the realm of cryptocurrencies, potentially influencing institutional strategies and regulatory approaches.
