It turns out that Bitcoin spot ETFs have surpassed US silver ETFs in assets under management (AUM) about a week after trading began.
Jag Kooner, head of derivatives at cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex, said, "Bitcoin spot ETFs have surpassed silver in assets under management, making them the second-largest single-commodity ETF in the US."
Bitcoin spot ETFs have seen $1.9 billion in inflows in the first three days of trading. Major asset management companies BlackRock and Fidelity are the lion's share, but other Bitcoin spot ETF issuers are not far behind.
Bitwise said that in the first three days, the company saw a total of $305.5 million in inflows, while Ark&21Shares ETF saw nearly $230 million in inflows.
Until Bitcoin spot ETFs began trading, silver was the second largest single-product ETF in the U.S. in terms of assets under management. Bitcoin spot ETFs have now overtaken it.
By contrast, the total assets under management of U.S. funds holding gold is $96.3 billion across 19 ETFs. Kuhner said, "There is a lot of interest in Bitcoin spot ETFs in the U.S., which is driving inflows. Trading levels reflect the demand for these products, which we hope will lead to increased liquidity and stability in the market."
Considering the traditional position of silver as a popular investment product, it is noteworthy that such a large amount of funds have flowed into Bitcoin spot ETFs in such a short period of time. Bitcoin spot ETFs' rise to second place speaks to the maturity of Bitcoin as an asset class in the financial market.
