Bitcoin ETFs Surpass Gold Inflows: Institutional Confidence Drives Market Shift

Institutional investors are driving the surge in Bitcoin ETF inflows, signaling a significant shift in market preferences and challenging traditional investment choices like gold. In May 2025 alone, Bitcoin ETFs attracted $5.25 billion in net inflows, outpacing gold’s modest $1.58 billion in outflows. This trend reflects growing institutional confidence in Bitcoin as an asset for hedging against inflation and as a potential reserve currency, reshaping financial strategies and portfolios.
