Gold's Historic Rally Leaves Bitcoin Behind, But the Trend May Reverse

What to know:

  • Gold ETFs saw $10 billion in inflows over the past 30 days, while bitcoin ETFs recorded $5 billion in outflows, a divergence expected to reverse, according to ByTree Founder, Charlie Morris.
  • Spot gold reaches $3,002, up over 15% this year, fueled by ETF inflows, geopolitical risks, and U.S. tariff concerns.

Spot gold surpassed $3,000 an ounce for the first time before retreating to $2,990. Gold futures for April delivery also broke the $3,000 mark on Thursday.

The precious metal is now up over 15% this year, driven by strong ETF inflows, geopolitical uncertainty, and continued concerns over U.S. equities amid ongoing tariff discussions by former President Donald Trump.

Meanwhile, gold priced in British pounds has yet to reach its all-time high of £2,363, currently sitting around £300 below that level.

Charlie Morris, founder of ByTree and manager of the BOLD ETF, which includes both bitcoin and gold, has observed a divergence between gold and bitcoin ETFs and expects this trend to reverse soon.

“In the last 30 days, gold ETFs have seen $10 billion in inflows, while bitcoin ETFs have experienced $5 billion in outflows,” Morris noted. “Sooner or later, the flows will reverse again—just as they always do.”

  • Bessent: Tariff Levels May Be Restored Before Early July

    On April 15, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent stated that the tariff levels imposed by Trump may be restored to their pre-Supreme Court ruling levels before early July. After the Supreme Court ruled that Trump's use of emergency powers to impose early tariffs was unconstitutional, Bessent is seeking to rebuild his 'tariff wall' using different authorizations, such as Section 301 investigations. Bessent mentioned that while it is difficult to predict when the consequences of the Iraq War will 'spill over' into the U.S. economy, the current economic conditions remain strong. He believes that the U.S. growth rate this year could easily exceed 3% or even 3.5%. He also added that the continuous decline in core inflation, excluding volatile energy and food prices, is a positive sign. Bessent stated, 'I believe the Federal Reserve has consistently misjudged the inflation issue; core inflation is declining. If they want to wait for clearer data before taking action, I understand, but that would mean interest rates should be lowered more.' (Jin Shi)
