He anticipates that the fast-rising cryptocurrency would “eat into gold’s Total Addressable Market (TAM) faster than people expect.” Highlighting Bitcoin’s formidable potential in relation to hold, on Wednesday, February 28, Spot Bitcoin ETFs dominated Gold ETFs in the market, with over $578 million flowing into Spot Bitcoin ETFs while gold ETFs experienced outflows of $17 million. These substantial inflows underscore the rising demand and potential superiority of Spot Bitcoin ETFs over gold ETFs.

Consequently, these investment assets have enhanced BTC’S accessibility for both institutional and retail investors, increasing its exposure and propelling the market value forward by tenfold. While Horsley has not provided a specific timeline for his $250,000 Bitcoin prediction, the CEO has maintained a long-term bullish outlook for the cryptocurrency. He has also emphasized the need to invest in BTC, stating that “waiting was costly” and yesterday’s price should serve as a reminder to seize any opportunity to purchase Bitcoin.
