U.S.-listed Bitcoin ETFs saw a significant inflow of $422.5 million on Tuesday, marking a six-week high and contributing to over $1 billion in inflows over the past three days.

This trend contradicts bearish views that ETF interest would wane during market downturns.
Bitcoin surged past $71,000 as U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs saw $880 million in inflows, led by Fidelity's FBTC with $378 million. This marked the best day of inflows since March, driven by a generally bullish sentiment and positive outlook for cryptocurrencies.

While Grayscale's new ETF experienced significant outflows, overall investor interest in ETFs remains strong, with rumors of significant buying. Additionally, Ethereum, Chainlink, and XRP funds also saw inflows, and Bitcoin's price has reached a high not seen since 2021, trading at $53,418 per coin.

Analysts note increased inflows into bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and products, potentially posing a long-term threat to gold's status as the primary store-of-value. Data shows substantial net flows into global bitcoin ETFs, particularly in the U.S., while gold experiences net negative flows. This trend reinforces confidence in bitcoin's dual role as a 'risk-on' investment and a safe-haven asset, with expectations that bitcoin may disrupt gold as the prime store-of-value in the future.
Bitcoin fund inflows have surpassed those of traditional gold funds, with Bitcoin spiking to $52,000 this week.
