Eric Balchunas, senior ETF Analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, posted on X that Baby Boomers made significant investments in Bitcoin ETFs, purchasing half a billion dollars' worth. Despite this substantial investment, the year-to-date net flows for these ETFs remain slightly negative. Balchunas referenced a quote from the movie 'Goodfellas,' describing the current situation as 'the bad time.'

He emphasized that people still underestimate the remarkable growth seen in 2023 and 2024, with a 464% increase being almost unnatural. The narrative surrounding this growth is still evolving, according to Balchunas.
