ERIC BALCHUNAS: 🟠 $IBIT is the only ETF on the 2025 Flow Leaderboard with a negative return for the year. CT's knee-jerk reaction is to whine about the return but the real takeaway is that is was 6th place DESPITE the negative return (Boomers putting on a HODL clinic). Even took in more than $GLD which was up 64%. That's a really good sign long term IMO. If you can do $25b in bad year imagine the flow potential in good year.
