The first gold ETF took 2 years to hit $10B, and BlackRock Bitcoin ETF did it in 2 months

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has crossed $10 billion in assets under management (AUM) in just over seven weeks — a figure that took the first U.S. gold-backed ETF more than two years to achieve.

As of March 1, BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF reached $10 billion in AUM — around 39 trading days since launch.

On the other hand, the United States’ first gold ETF — SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) — took more than two years to do the same following its launch in 2004, according to the Zero Hedge finance blog.

There were several days of record inflows to spot Bitcoin ETFs last week, with Feb. 26, 27 and 28 exceeding $500 billion for the new nine ETFs.

Goldbug Peter Schiff wasn’t swayed. On March 2, he said CNBC was so fixated on the “sideshow going on with Bitcoin and the new Bitcoin ETFs, that they haven’t even reported on today’s $43 rise in the price of gold or the new record-high price in the gold ETF GLD.”
