Bitcoin stole Gold's shine this year, outperforming the yellow metal by a wide margin, +70% versus -6.79% respectively. The largest cryptocurrency by market cap ($928 billion) surged after increased adoption by companies, influencers, retail investors and adoption as an official currency in El Salvador.
The euphoria around the digital asset peaked after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) finally approved the first U.S. Bitcoin-linked Exchange-Traded-Fund (ETF), the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO). The fund's debut went down as of one of the best ETF debuts in history, topping $1 billion assets in just a couple of days. The overall surge in Bitcoin popularity opened the floodgates for the launch of dozens of Bitcoin or Bitcoin-linked ETFs or ETPs around world. The funds managed to attract over $5.6 billion in net inflows compared to Gold ETFs' -$11.2 billion exodus. By providing easier access to Bitcoin, ETFs may have contributed to the reshuffle of investment strategies and the major disruption of traditional asset allocation.
