Erik Voorhees, ShapeShift CEO and founder of the Venice.AI project, has addressed the cryptocurrency community to hint that he expects Bitcoin to surge in all aspects soon, including price.

He stressed the key feature of Bitcoin, underscoring the fact that it is likely to play a key role now as demand for BTC is going up fast.

Voorhees's message: Bitcoin will surpass gold, USD, oil

Erik Voorhees, as an OG Bitcoin supporter and early investor, published a tweet about Bitcoin, hinting, similarly to other Bitcoin proponents, the high potential BTC has of surpassing all other major assets in the future, including such fundamental ones as the U.S. dollar, oil and gold.

Voorhees stressed the fact that all these abovementioned assets share one common feature – their supply will not expire for many years to come. When the demand for gold or oil rises, Voorhees tweeted, more of each is produced thanks to large deposits on Earth. When the demand for the U.S. dollars rises, more dollars are printed, he said.

However, when the demand for Bitcoin goes up, here Voorhees left his thought unfinished, hinting that more Bitcoin cannot be produced since Satoshi Nakamoto programmed BTC to exist only in the form of 21 million coins.

Bitcoin ETFs reach new ATH

Slightly more than 19 million Bitcoins have already been mined, and the majority of them are circulating the market now. A lot of BTC have been held in cold wallets for many years. A lot is being held by spot Bitcoin ETFs at the moment. According to a recent report by Chinese crypto journalist Colin Wu, these institutions have acquired so much BTC that, for the first time in history, they are holding more than 5% of all BTC market value.

The net value of the Bitcoin spot ETF, Wu continues, is now equal to $72.545 billion. On Oct. 29, the overall inflow into these funds totaled a staggering $870 million, and it marked the third highest inflow within a single day. The largest secondary one was observed on March 12, with $1.05 billion going into Bitcoin ETFs. The second biggest inflow was registered on June 4, and it totaled $887 million.
