TREE NEWS reports: Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas notes that store-of-value assets GLD and IBIT have returned to the top 10 most actively traded ETFs, while some semiconductor ETFs have dropped in rankings after dominating through the summer. This shift suggests the currency debasement trade is replacing the AI hype.
GLD & IBIT Rejoin Top 10 Most Active ETFs, Semis Fade
Balchunas's ranking shift reads less as a verdict on AI and more as a rotation in what traders want to express right now: gold and bitcoin ETFs as debasement hedges, semis as a momentum trade that has cooled. The tell is that both store-of-value vehicles moved together, which points to a macro-driven bid rather than asset-specific flows. Whether semis reclaim their summer dominance or this becomes a durable handoff is the open question.
