BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF, known as IBIT, has surpassed the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), the world's largest gold fund, in net cumulative inflows so far this year.

🟡 Since January, IBIT has attracted approximately $6.96 billion, compared to $6.5 billion for GLD, according to Bloomberg data cited by CoinDesk.

💰 This milestone comes despite Bitcoin's price having risen only 3.8% in 2025, while gold has seen an increase of nearly 29%.

This phenomenon reflects growing institutional confidence in Bitcoin as a long-term asset and underscores it as a digital alternative to gold.
