According to @charlesdhaussy, $34B has flowed into crypto ETFs this year, yet Bitcoin (BTC) is down 8% year-to-date while the S&P 500 is up 19% and gold is up 68%, highlighting an ETF paradox for crypto markets (source: @charlesdhaussy). According to @charlesdhaussy, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has recorded $62.3B in inflows and reached $68B in assets under management, underscoring that significant ETF demand has not translated into BTC price appreciation YTD (source: @charlesdhaussy). According to @charlesdhaussy, these relative performance figures are key for allocation and relative-value trading decisions as BTC underperforms both risk assets and safe-haven gold YTD (source: @charlesdhaussy).

According to @charliebilello, Bitcoin (BTC) is now slightly negative year-to-date after having been up 35% at its early October peak (source: @charliebilello on X, Nov 16, 2025). This reflects a reversal of over 35 percentage points in BTC’s 2025 YTD performance from the October peak to mid-November levels, placing price below the year-start baseline for traders’ YTD context (source: @charliebilello on X, Nov 16, 2025).
