Wall Street’s latest casino chips? Bitcoin ETFs. Over $5 billion has stampeded into these vehicles in a single week—proof that when volatility spikes, speculators can’t resist the action.

Hedge funds and wealth managers are placing outsized directional wagers, treating BTC like a leveraged tech stock rather than ’digital gold.’ The 24/7 trading windows and razor-thin spreads make it irresistible for short-term plays—never mind that most still don’t understand the underlying asset.The irony? This liquidity surge comes just as Bitcoin’s network activity flatlines. Traders care more about ETF flows than actual blockchain utility—classic finance prioritizing paper gains over technological progress.
