Instead of choosing between gold and bitcoin as a hedge against financial anxiety, investors are buying both. According to data compiled by Bloomberg, in the past five trading days, exchange-traded funds tracking these two types of assets attracted a record inflow of $7 billion, bringing some of the largest gold and bitcoin ETFs to the top of the ETF inflow rankings along with stock market giants. SPDR Gold Shares, a subsidiary of State Street Investment Management, attracted nearly $3.4 billion in capital inflows, while BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF attracted $1.5 billion. Both ranked in the top ten US ETF inflows this week, with GLD second only to a few funds, including the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF.
