‘Roles reversed?’- Bitcoin outperforms gold in ETF inflows
The Bitcoin vs. gold debate has resurfaced as Bitcoin outperforms gold amid geopolitical tensions. Since the onset of the West Asia crisis, Bitcoin has gained 8.5%, reinforcing its role as a potential hedge, while gold dropped 12%, contrary to traditional safe-haven expectations. Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas noted a reversal in roles, cautioning against short-term judgments and describing gold as a "great diversifier but unreliable hedge."
Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $167.23 million in daily net inflows on March 24, breaking a three-day outflow streak. March alone saw $2.5 billion in net inflows, nearly turning year-to-date flows positive. In contrast, gold ETFs experienced over $22 billion in outflows during the same period. The BTC/Gold ratio, though still in a multi-year range, showed Bitcoin outperforming gold by 32% in March. Fidelity suggests $60,000 as a potential cycle bottom, with Bitcoin eyeing $80,000 if ETF inflows continue.
