Bitcoin Cement’s Dominance Over Gold Records Net Inflows of $23.6 Billion
The rise of Bitcoin in the financial landscape has been a remarkable development, as evidenced by the significant capital inflow into Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Since the beginning of the year, a staggering $23.6 billion has flowed into Bitcoin ETFs, excluding Grayscale’s GBTC. This surge in investments is in stark contrast to the outflows experienced by global gold ETFs, which have witnessed a significant fund outflow of $5 billion in 2024 alone.
The impact of this change is particularly noticeable in key regions such as North America and Europe, where gold ETF outflows are -$4.7 billion and -$1.4 billion respectively. Such data underscores Bitcoin’s growing dominance as the preferred investment option over traditional assets such as gold.
Recent Increase in Bitcoin ETF Inflows
In recent days, the momentum behind Bitcoin ETFs has accelerated further, with a noticeable increase in inflows into certain funds, such as the US Spot Bitcoin ETF and Fidelity’s FBTC. On March 15, inflow figures showed a significant increase compared to previous days, indicating increased interest among investors.
This increase becomes even more significant when combined with outflows from leading Bitcoin investment vehicles such as Grayscale’s GBTC and BlackRock’s IBIT. Sustained inflow trends underscore Bitcoin’s continued preference as a lucrative investment avenue, attracting the attention and capital of savvy investors globally.

Market Size and Market optimism
JPMorgan’s assessment of the potential market size for Bitcoin ETFs further solidifies the cryptocurrency’s status as a formidable asset class. With estimates reaching $62 billion using gold as a reference, Bitcoin’s disruptive potential is becoming increasingly apparent. February marked a turning point for the cryptocurrency market, witnessing an impressive increase in total market capitalization by nearly 40% to $2.2 trillion.
This rise was accompanied by a remarkable 31% increase in Bitcoin price in one month, pushing it to an all-time high of over $73,800. This increase in value coincided with significant inflows into Bitcoin ETFs, further fueling optimism among investors. Despite recent corrections in the market, Bitcoin’s 24-hour trading volume has shown resilience, increasing significantly and signaling continued investor activity.
