European gold ETFs saw outflows of $818 million in June, reducing total inflows for the first half to $3.2 billion. The significant pullback in gold prices that month was a key driver of investors reducing their gold ETF holdings. Asia saw outflows of $2.3 billion in June, the largest monthly outflow on record. Despite this, the region still recorded its strongest first-half performance ever, leading the world with a net inflow of $12 billion. Looking ahead, regional gold ETF flows are expected to stabilize. Our macro baseline scenario in our "Mid-2026 Gold Outlook" indicates relatively stable performance for gold in the second half of the year, with other scenarios potentially brewing breakout catalysts. Meanwhile, geopolitical, economic growth, and financial market uncertainties persist. This backdrop is likely to continue supporting investor demand for portfolio protection and maintaining interest in gold ETFs as a strategic safe-haven asset.

Banks issuing or holding crypto tokens that are stored on a public, decentralized network are "highly likely" to be incompatible with safe and sound banking practices, the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency said in their first joint statement on cryptocurrencies.


The authorities also said that they are concerned about the safety and soundness of bank business models that have concentrated exposure to the cryptocurrency industry or that are heavily focused on operations linked to cryptocurrencies.
