Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded their largest daily net outflows in roughly two weeks on Monday, shedding a combined $582.4 million as institutional investors pared exposure. The significant pullback, which saw Bitcoin ETFs lose $357.6 million and Ethereum ETFs nearly $225 million in a single day, appears driven by broader macro de-risking amid volatility in U.S. equities and uncertainty over global monetary policy, rather than crypto-specific stress, according to market analysis.

A striking divergence has emerged between two of the world’s most discussed safe-haven assets. While Bitcoin has dropped 5% since last Thursday, gold has surged nearly 5% to record highs above $3,790. This growing split reflects institutional investors’ current preference for traditional gold amid macroeconomic uncertainty, raising questions about Bitcoin’s digital gold narrative. Historical patterns, however, suggest this relationship may be temporary, with Bitcoin typically outperforming once Federal Reserve policy shifts and risk appetite returns.

Bitcoin showed muted reaction to the Fed’s 0.25% rate cut, trading around $117,800 with a slight daily gain.
