Analyst: Bitcoin ETF Could Surpass Gold ETF in Size, Highlighting Value of Allocation
On April 4th, Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart said Bitcoin spot ETFs are poised to surpass gold ETFs in assets under management (AUM) as market demand continues to grow.
Seyffart noted Bitcoin has more diverse portfolio applications: it functions as "digital gold" and a store of value, while also offering asset allocation diversification, trading liquidity, and growth-risk asset traits. Gold, by contrast, has a relatively narrow investment logic.
Fund flows reflect a shift in investor preferences: U.S. gold ETFs saw significant outflows in March, with net outflows of ~$2.92 billion. Over the same period, Bitcoin spot ETFs attracted ~$1.32 billion in net inflows.
Despite the divergence in fund flows, Bitcoin and gold prices have tracked closely recently. Over the past 30 days, Bitcoin is down ~8.07% while gold has fallen ~8.25%.
Market observers believe Bitcoin ETFs are transitioning from "alternative assets" to mainstream allocation tools as investor demand for digital

Trump Proposes $1.5 Trillion Defense Budget, Setting New High in U.S. Modern History
April 4: U.S. President Donald Trump released an outline of his Fiscal Year 2027 budget proposal, calling for a record $1.5 trillion in defense spending—marking a new modern-era high for the U.S.
Under the plan, roughly $1.1 trillion would go to the U.S. Department of Defense, with an additional $350 billion earmarked for critical ammunition buys, defense industrial base expansion, and other initiatives. The budget also funds key military programs like shipbuilding and the "Golden Dome" missile defense system.
The White House notes the proposal would keep overall spending caps in place while cutting roughly $73 billion in non-defense funding—impacting areas such as education and environmental protection. It also includes funding for new entities, including the National Fraud Investigation Agency, led by Vice President JD Vance.
The budget is currently a summary version; full details have not yet been released. The Republican-controlled Congress must finalize deliberations and

Telegram remains highly popular in Russia and Iran despite restrictions, with VPN usage driving the expansion of "digital resistance."
April 4: Telegram founder Pavel Durov posted to his personal channel, saying that despite ongoing restrictions on Telegram in Russia, figures show 65 million Russian users still use the app daily via VPNs or other workarounds—with over 50 million engaging in regular messaging.
Meanwhile, the Russian government is ramping up its VPN crackdown, but these efforts hit technical hurdles. Reports say recent internet blockades even temporarily knocked out payment systems, sparking a short-lived shift back to cash in some areas.
A similar trend has unfolded in Iran. Since Telegram was banned, officials had hoped to push domestic, regulated messaging apps. Instead, the move has driven a sharp rise in VPN use, leading to widespread "digital bypassing."
Experts note that in heavily regulated spaces, demand for free communication and privacy remains robust among users, as technological workarounds keep evolving. With more developers building VPNs and proxy tools, the cat-and-mouse game ov
