Tokenized gold just flipped Gold ETFs in performance.
Same metal in the same vaults, but one lives on ETH and suddenly performs 60% better because it trades 24/7. Gold bugs just became crypto users and they don't even know it yet Source: Katusa Research
Some Bitcoin whales are doing custom creations of $IBIT
These whales are trading in their physical Bitcoin for shares of the ETF for a variety of benefits after discovering TradFi has its perks. BlackRock has done $3b of these. Source: Eric Balchunas
Goldman on gold's Tuesday flush:
"The best answer we have for the largest % move in 10 years is (simply) positioning, and that we’ve rallied for 9 consecutive weeks. The ease of trading an ETF for quick exposure has been on full display; as of [Tuesday's] close $GLD accounted for 8% of all notional US-listed ETF volumes, its largest share of activity in our dataset. Flows on the ETF desks skewed (unsurprisingly) strongly better for sale today". Source: Neil Sethi
The Gold ETF ended yesterday's session at its most overbought level on record (monthly RSI). Today it is down 4%
