Bitcoin has dominated the ETF landscape since spot BTC ETFs launched in January. Investor interest accelerated after crypto-friendly President-elect Donald Trump prevailed on Nov. 5 in the US elections.
November’s surge in BTC ETF net assets reflects “a more positive outlook for the future of Bitcoin after Trump’s election win, which boosted performance and brought over $5 billion of inflows,” Bryan Armour, director of passive strategies research at Morningstar, told Cointelegraph.
Collectively, BTC ETFs now manage approximately $104 billion. They are on track to surpass gold ETFs in net assets, which together hold approximately $120 billion in assets under management (AUM) as of Nov. 21, according to Bitcoin Archive. 
Bitcoin ETFs are “now 97% of way to passing Satoshi as biggest holder and 82% of way to passing gold ETFs,” Eric Balchunas, an ETF analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence, said in a Nov. 21 <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/EricBalchunas/status/1859573968430059944" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" text="null" title="https://x.com/EricBalchunas/status/1859573968430059944">post</a> on the X platform.
