BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (IBIT) has recorded 6.96 billion in net inflows since the start of 2025, surpassing the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) to become the sixth most popular ETF by inflows.
GLD, the world’s largest physically backed gold ETF, slid to seventh place on Monday with 6.5 billion in net inflows, according to Bloomberg’s senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas.
The shift highlights a growing preference among institutional investors for digital assets over traditional safe-haven assets like gold.
