Bitcoin News Today: Bitcoin ETFs Hold $138 Billion as Institutional Adoption Rises

Samson Mow, a prominent advocate for Bitcoin, has reiterated his belief that the cryptocurrency is on a path to dominate the global financial system, with all other assets ultimately trending toward zero value relative to Bitcoin. Mow expressed these views in a series of posts on X in early August 2025, where he emphasized Bitcoin’s role as the ultimate store of value and its potential to replace fiat currencies and alternative cryptocurrencies [1].

According to Mow, Bitcoin’s scarcity—capped supply and halving cycles—creates a fundamental imbalance between supply and demand. This dynamic, he argues, will drive Bitcoin’s value upward over time, while other assets face depreciation. Mow envisions a future in which Bitcoin becomes the primary monetary standard, facilitating national treasuries and everyday transactions [2].

Mow also criticized Ethereum, suggesting that its price volatility is driven by investors rotating Bitcoin into ETH to artificially inflate its value. He warned that once Ethereum reaches a peak, these same investors are likely to sell off their holdings, leaving new investors with losses. This pattern, he argues, ultimately results in capital flowing back into Bitcoin, reinforcing its dominance [3].

The growing adoption of Bitcoin is further supported by increasing institutional interest. Over $138 billion is now held in Bitcoin ETFs, signaling its acceptance as a legitimate financial asset. The rise in Bitcoin-centric products and the $572 million in weekly inflows—$260 million of which went directly into Bitcoin—indicate growing confidence in its value as both an investment and a store of value [4].

Despite the optimism, Mow’s predictions have sparked debate. Critics argue that the claim that all assets will trend to zero is an overstatement and that a diversified portfolio remains a safer strategy for investors. However, Mow’s influence in the crypto community is significant, and his views continue to shape the narrative around Bitcoin’s role in the future of global finance [5].

As macroeconomic conditions and market trends evolve, Bitcoin’s price trajectory and adoption rate remain central to investor sentiment. Mow’s forecasts, while speculative, reflect a broader belief in Bitcoin’s potential to redefine the global monetary system.
