A well known analyst recently commented that gold is not a serious competitor to Bitcoin when it comes to the speed of ETF adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gold has long been considered the preferred safe haven asset during periods of rising uncertainty. However, the metal recently experienced a notable wave of investor withdrawals. This became clear last week when the largest United States ETF that tracks gold recorded a major outflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, funds connected to Bitcoin finished the week with overall gains, even though Thursday and Friday ended with significant losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GLD Experiences One of Its Biggest Withdrawals in Years<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SPDR Gold Trust is the largest ETF focused on gold, managing more than 174 billion dollars in assets as of March. Its dominance in the market is evident because the second largest fund, the iShares Gold Trust, manages around 64 billion dollars, which is almost three times smaller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to data shared by the Kobeissi Letter, the SPDR Gold Trust saw a massive withdrawal of about 3 billion dollars on Wednesday. Analysts noted that this amount exceeded any previous large daily inflow over the past two years by more than 200 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the same period, the price of gold fell by 4.4 percent in a single day. This marked the biggest drop since January 30, when the metal declined by more than 11 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysts explained that this development came after global gold ETFs attracted 5.3 billion dollars in February and 18.7 billion dollars in January. That performance marked the ninth consecutive month of inflows and the strongest two month start to a year ever recorded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They concluded that many investors likely decided to secure profits following the metal\u2019s historic rally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comparisons With Bitcoin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the gold ETF experienced a large outflow on Wednesday, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded their strongest day since February 25, bringing in net inflows of about 461.77 million dollars. Monday also saw inflows of 458.19 million dollars and Tuesday added another 225.15 million dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the week ended negatively with net outflows of 227.83 million dollars on Thursday and 348.83 million dollars on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite those late losses, the overall weekly result remained positive. Bitcoin ETFs recorded total net inflows of about 568.45 million dollars. This marked the second consecutive week of positive flows after a difficult five week period in which more than 2 billion dollars was withdrawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although these figures are smaller than the movement seen in the single gold fund, they still highlight the growing institutional interest in Bitcoin. Crypto Rover also shared a chart showing that Bitcoin ETFs have attracted stronger inflows during their early years compared to gold ETFs during the same stage of their development.\u00a0#cryptonews https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a> https:\/\/coinsignals.net<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
