While some financial advisors aren’t ready to allocate customer money to bitcoin ETFs yet, there’s been an uptick in interest for “bitcoin adjacent” ETFs
It’s been a little over a month since the bitcoin ETFs received regulatory approval to launch in the US.
It was a rocky start at first, with outflows from Grayscale’s spot bitcoin ETF — which was converted from a bitcoin trust — outpacing inflows. To add to that, former exchange FTX also unloaded shares of the ETF.
However, last week’s inflows came in at $1.1 billion, which is much higher than the $415 million of outflows from GBTC.
“US-based spot Bitcoin ETF net flows are consistently positive, while sell pressure from Grayscale Bitcoin Trust outflows is abating,” Thomas Perfumo, Kraken’s head of strategy, told Blockworks.
Valkyrie co-founder Steven McClurg sat down with Blockworks to talk about their bitcoin ETF, which launched alongside BlackRock, Fidelity and a handful of others back in January.
McClurg also touched on why the firm opted to add BitGo as a second custodian for BRRR.
