 <li>Bitcoin ETFs have reached a cumulative inflow of $21 billion, with Bitcoin’s value nearing $70,000.</li>

<p> Bitcoin’s price has been making significant strides recently, breaking through key price levels and reaching new milestones in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) inflows. This week, Bitcoin surged past the $68,000 mark, moving closer to the $70,000 valuation.</p> 
<p>Despite a slight dip, Bitcoin’s monthly gains remain strong and it is only 3.65% away from reaching $70,000. With record inflows into Bitcoin ETFs, this target seems within reach.</p>

<p>Data from SoSo Value shows that as of October 21st, the total net inflows were at $294.29 million, contributing to a cumulative total inflow of $21.23 billion. A significant contributor to these inflows is BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). Even with the price dip, IBIT recorded inflows of $329 million on October 21st, outperforming all other spot Bitcoin ETF products.</p> 
<p>Eric Balchunas, a senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, noted that IBIT had an exceptional week, attracting $1.1 billion in new cash and surpassing Vanguard’s VTI for third place in year-to-date flows. Currently, IBIT has $26 billion in assets under management, placing it in the top 2% of all ETFs globally.</p> 
<h2 id="bitcoin-etfs-vs-gold-etfs">Bitcoin ETFs vs Gold ETFs</h2> 
<p>The impressive inflows into Bitcoin ETFs have led to questions about whether they are drawing investors away from traditional safe-haven assets like gold. Balchunas suggested that Bitcoin’s rising popularity and its increasing role as a competitor to gold in the asset market could be driving this shift.</p> 
<p>While institutional interest in Bitcoin ETFs is rising, retail engagement appears to be slowing. Data from Google Trends shows a decline in searches for “Bitcoin” and “Bitcoin ETF”. This contrast highlights a shift in market dynamics, with institutions taking a bigger role. </p>
