US EditionBlackRock’s Spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) Beats SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) in Year-to-Date Inflows
- In 2025, BlackRock’s IBIT, a spot Bitcoin ETF, recorded net inflows of $6.96 billion, surpassing the $6.5 billion inflows received by the SPDR Gold Trust during the same timeframe.
- This inflow lead occurred despite gold's nearly 29% price rally driven by geopolitical tensions and inflation concerns, while Bitcoin gained about 3.8% year-to-date.
- In terms of year-to-date net inflows, IBIT has positioned itself as the sixth largest ETF in the U.S., rapidly expanding its assets under management to $59.64 billion since its launch in January 2024.
- According to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas, IBIT's inflow patterns indicate strong institutional confidence, with Balchunas calling this 'a really good sign for the long term'.
- This trend suggests a pivotal shift in institutional portfolios favoring Bitcoin ETFs, possibly forecasting that Bitcoin ETFs could exceed gold ETFs in assets under management within 3 to 5 years.
