Bitcoin on December 14 – Skyrocketing adoption of BTC ETFs versus gold

Texas is considering creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve, backed by a bill guaranteeing its holding for at least five years to boost innovation and financial security. More and more entities (States, companies) are turning to Bitcoin. Adoption is being felt, particularly on spot Bitcoin ETFs.

BTC ETFs chain 11 positive days

The price of Bitcoin has dropped from 13% on December 5and he still can’t clearly get out of $100,000. And yet, spot Bitcoin ETFs remain on a crazy dynamic since November 27. Indeed, ETFs continue 11 days in the positive and record entries of almost 5 billion dollars :

November was already extremely positive with a total of more than 6 billion dollars in entries. There are therefore approximately two weeks left for the operators to do better than in November. The enthusiasm for ETFs has been significant for several months, and the trend still not weakening as the end of the year approaches.

ETF adoption is much faster on Bitcoin than on gold

As we have just seen, ETFs record many entries for several weeks, even several months now. And even if the entries were much more mixed between March and September, the launch of ETFs is still exceptional. Moreover, according to Bloomberg data, there were more $30 billion in net inflows since the beginning of the year:

Such figures can be difficult to conceptualize, and the comparison between gold and Bitcoin allows us to understand to what extent this launch is amazing. It took approximately 250 trading days to reach $30 billion on Bitcoin ETFs in cash. Gold, at the time, had taken more than 1,250 trading days to achieve a similar amount. The curve therefore shows a real FOMO from operators who invest in these Bitcoin-related investment vehicles.

Until today, all returns at the level of institutional bias (EMA 9/EMA 18) bullish allow rebounds. And at trend continues in the days and weeks to come, the price could fly towards $110,000.

Demand on spot Bitcoin ETFs is extremely high. It far exceeds that known for gold in its early days. From a technical point of view, the price is still bullish, and as long as $93,000 is held, a new upward phase seems possible. After the bullish explosion of BTC, is it Ethereum’s turn?
