US-Listed Spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) About to Overtake Gold ETFs! Here Are the Details

US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are on the verge of surpassing their gold counterparts in assets under management (AUM), reflecting a significant shift in investor preference towards digital assets.
