In December 2024, a significant event shook the investment world: Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETF) surpassed gold ETF in terms of assets under management (AUM) in the United States. This achievement is all the more impressive given that Bitcoin ETF were only launched in January 2024, while gold ETF have been around for over two decades.

For cryptocurrencies, this announcement fuels both hope for a more favorable monetary environment and fear of increased instability. As Bitcoin and Ethereum already face significant declines, investors question the prospects ahead.
