🟡 Why Bitcoin ETFs Are “Bleeding” While Gold Hits Record Demand
Bitcoin ETFs are showing significant outflows and paper losses for holders even as gold markets see historic investment demand and ETF accumulation. This contrast highlights how Bitcoin — now deeply tied to broader financial liquidity cycles — has behaved more like a risk asset than a traditional safe haven like gold.
Key Facts:
• Bitcoin ETFs have seen billions in losses and redemptions as BTC price weakens, with holders underwater amid recent pullbacks.
• By contrast, gold demand reached record levels (~$559B) in 2025, driven by inflows into physically backed gold ETFs.
• Headlines of “ETFs bleeding” can be misleading — when measured over time, crypto ETF products still absorbed significant net capital during 2025.
Expert Insight:
Bitcoin’s increasing correlation with macro liquidity and risk assets means ETFs react more like tech or growth stocks than a hedge, causing pullbacks during risk-off phases. Meanwhile, gold’s traditional diversification role continues to attract long-term safe-haven allocations.
