Taurus4BTC on Nostr: Retail investors became the main force behind gold fund buying over the past 6 ...
Retail investors became the main force behind gold fund buying over the past 6 months. About $60 billion in inflows by Q1 2026, up from about $20 billion in late 2025.
Meanwhile institutions trimmed gold exposure per BIS data. In March, investors pulled $4 billion from GLD, the largest weekly outflow in its 20-year history. Gold fell to $4,611 per ounce.
Meanwhile fresh inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs show Wall Street rebuilding crypto exposure. This connects to Strive breaking into the top 10 BTC holders and the North Carolina Bitcoin Reserve bill.
Institutional and state-level accumulation is happening while retail chases gold. Gold and Bitcoin are no longer moving as simple rivals for the same defensive trade. They are separate expressions of different risk appetites.
