PANews reported on August 27, citing Bloomberg, that over the past five trading days, gold and Bitcoin ETFs together attracted a record $7 billion in inflows. The SPDR Gold ETF (GLD) took in nearly $3.4 billion and BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) drew $1.5 billion. Both ranked among the top 10 U.S. ETF inflows for the week.
Investors bought gold and Bitcoin simultaneously as a hedge against fiscal anxiety. U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent announced an expansion of long-term Treasury buybacks, which triggered a weaker dollar and lower yields, boosting demand for scarce assets.
