CoinMeta data: Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas stated that Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) could eventually grow to three times the size of the gold ETF market. He believes that changes in population structure, increased adoption by institutions, and the gradual maturation of Bitcoin could drive billions of dollars into these products. On Friday, he clarified his prediction in response to a user's question about whether a three-fold increase over gold was too aggressive. He said, "Bitcoin ETF assets will be three times that of gold ETF assets, which means that the managed assets of Bitcoin could reach $300 billion to $400 billion, which is entirely realistic in the long term." He made this prediction in a recent interview, suggesting that the younger generation is increasingly viewing Bitcoin as a store of value, just as the older generation of investors traditionally viewed gold. Balchunas also noted that Bitcoin has a younger investor base and expects major financial institutions to make greater use of this asset, as its volatility and correlation with tech stocks are declining. Finally, he believes that Bitcoin has clear advantages over gold in terms of enthusiasm and market promotion ETF.
