Cumulative inflows have dropped to roughly $54 billion from an all‑time high of $63 billion, and since July 2025 only $5 billion of net inflows have been recorded.

Major holders such as BlackRock and Fidelity have reduced positions by 6 % and 12.6 %, respectively. Meanwhile, gold ETFs have attracted capital, with 90‑day inflows peaking at $36 billion in October 2025, while Bitcoin flows turned negative in March‑April 2025. The data suggest a shift of investor appetite from Bitcoin to gold during risk‑off periods.
