$15 Billion Leaves Gold ETF While Bitcoin Emerges as the New Safe Haven

In a recent publication, Eric Balchunas, renowned Bloomberg ETF analyst, revealed that the gold exchange-traded fund (ETF) SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) recorded capital outflows close to $15 billion since last March 1. This notable divestment highlights a strategic restructuring by institutional investors in the global reserve asset market.

In this regard, experts suggest that this is an adjustment phase known as “after the gold rush.” The outgoing capital exceeds the cumulative outflows of spot Bitcoin ETFs from their previous all-time highs by 50%, consolidating the narrative of the main cryptocurrency as a solid digital alternative in the face of current geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic volatility. 

The market’s eyes are now focused on confirming whether this multi-billion dollar flow will migrate massively and definitively toward cryptocurrency-based financial products. The next key step for traders will be to monitor the upcoming institutional net inflow reports in Wall Street’s Bitcoin ETFs.
