#NFPWatch Bitcoin surpasses gold in institutional capital raising in 2025.
$BTC ✨✨✨✨✨
#BTCReclaims110K The narrative of Bitcoin as 'digital gold' has just reached a new turning point. So far in 2025, BlackRock's IBIT ETF has raised USD 14.9 billion, almost doubling the inflows of the GLD gold fund, which has accumulated USD 8.3 billion. The data was reported by ETF.com at the close of the first half of the year, consolidating an unprecedented shift in institutional investor preferences.
This change is not only quantitative. It represents a structural transformation in how safe-haven value is interpreted in the current macroeconomic context: persistent inflation, geopolitical tensions, and sovereign debt at highs.
💥BlackRock in charge of the market.💥
According to Bloomberg, since its launch in January 2024, the IBIT ETF has absorbed USD 52 billion, representing 96% of all capital entered into the available Bitcoin spot ETFs in the U.S. The figure is overwhelming: BlackRock holds absolute leadership in a financial product that until recently was unthinkable for Wall Street.
In contrast, gold-backed ETFs have shown less traction in recent months, despite the risk-averse context. The narrative of gold as a traditional asset seems to be replaced by a more decentralized, liquid, and modern view of value preservation.
