On the other hand, gold merely managed to attract gains below $5 million. Moreover, in its first nine years, gold never attracted gains that were up to Bitcoin ETFs’ first yearly figure. Therefore, it underscores Bitcoin funds’ resilience amid criticism about the token’s volatile nature.
Meanwhile, four ETFs out of the twelve approved Bitcoin ETFs in 2024 ranked among the top 20 US ETF launches of all time. They include IBIT, FBTC, ARKB, and BITB. The remarkable one-year achievement will inspire hope for Bitcoin’s future outlook.
