Metrics: Gold ETF vs BTC ETF

A Bloomberg analyst shared some interesting statistics on BTC ETF inflows:

"Over 9 months, BTC ETFs have attracted $17.7B.

Gold ETFs and BTC ETFs are sometimes compared as diversification tools for investors.

Here’s the interesting part:

Gold ETFs make up 1% of gold’s market capitalization.

BTC ETFs, however, represent 5% of Bitcoin’s market cap.

It took gold 22 years to reach this point, while BTC ETFs did it in just 9 months."

The rapid growth of BTC ETFs compared to gold’s long-established market is a striking testament to the accelerating pace of Bitcoin adoption in traditional finance. As investors increasingly look toward BTC as a diversification tool, the contrast with gold shows how quickly crypto is reshaping the investment landscape.
