Bitcoin ETFs are now sitting on a massive $110 billion, accounting for 5.5% of Bitcoin’s total supply—a clear sign that both big-time institutions and everyday investors are diving in. To put it into perspective, gold ETFs like SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) and iShares Gold Trust (IAU) have been the steady Eddies of the market, pulling in 10-year annualized returns of 7.66% and 7.82%. But Bitcoin ETFs? They’re the new kid on the block, and they’re wild. ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO) got a whopping return of 137.34% in 2023 and 104.43% in 2024. Spot Bitcoin ETF approvals in 2024 only cranked things up, pushing assets under management to a cool $70 billion by November.
Now, with Trump back in the White House, crypto’s got a new MVP. His pro-crypto stance gives light to a flood of ETFs tied to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and even Bitcoin-and-gold hybrids. It’s like the Wild West for crypto, with lighter regulations paving the way for even more action. But hold up, the IRS is rolling out tighter rules and stricter compliance measures to make sure no one’s sneaking past Uncle Sam. If you’re cashing in on crypto, you’d better have your ducks in a row. Bitcoin ETFs are taking center stage, but let’s not kid ourselves—they’re a wild ride. Could this be the 21st century’s gold rush? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure—Bitcoin ETFs are where the actions are.
