Since April 2025, cryptocurrency ETFs, particularly those focused on Bitcoin and Ethereum, have seen significant funding, highlighting growing investor interest in this asset class.
Growth in Crypto ETF Inflows
Since April 8, cryptocurrency ETFs have attracted $20 billion, making them the leading category among all ETFs. NovaDius Wealth President Nate Geraci noted the successful performance of these ETFs amid increasing popularity.
Comparison with Other ETFs
Crypto ETFs attracted twice as much capital as precious metal ETFs, and they exceeded the combined inflows of thematic fund and treasury ETFs. This supports the increased adoption of Bitcoin as an inflation hedge.
Long-term Prospects for Bitcoin and Gold
Despite the rapid growth in inflows to Bitcoin ETFs, gold still dominates in terms of assets under management. The largest gold ETF, SPDR Gold Shares, holds $102.12 billion in assets. This indicates that while Bitcoin is making strides, it has a long way to go before matching gold as a primary store of value.
The data indicating the increasing interest in cryptocurrency ETFs underscores the changing landscape of investment strategies, with Bitcoin taking on an increasingly significant role.
