Bitcoin ETFs Are Now Competing Directly with Gold

  • Bitcoin ETFs attracted $13.5B in 2025, reaching 70% of gold ETF inflows.

  • Cumulative spot Bitcoin ETF flows neared $50B by July 2025.

  • IBIT and institutional activity helped drive renewed inflows during Q2 2025.

Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have pulled in $13.5 billion in net inflows so far in 2025, closing the gap with gold ETFs, which saw $19.2 billion in inflows. This means Bitcoin has already captured nearly 70% of gold’s total inflow year-to-date.

While gold had a head start earlier in the year, the data, shared by the analytics account Ecoinometrics, shows that Bitcoin is now showing a much stronger momentum.

In the broader ETF market, US stocks remain the top performer with the highest inflows, followed by US bonds. Meanwhile, Ethereum ETFs are still struggling, drawing only a fraction of the attention compared to Bitcoin and gold.

This shift marks a turning point for hard asset ETFs, as Bitcoin begins to match traditional safe-haven assets in institutional demand.
