The adoption of cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States has taken everyone by surprise. Even Grayscale did not expect the pace to accelerate beyond all expectations.
The market for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on cryptocurrencies will soon open up to new digital assets and more diversified crypto indices.
Ongoing Development
Indeed, the next step will be the launch of a multitude of products: funds focused on a single asset, as well as diversified index funds.
Grayscale is one of the largest issuers of crypto ETFs. The firm has over $25 billion in assets under management (AUM) in its crypto ETFs listed in the United States.
Its exchange-traded products currently include Bitcoin and Ether single-asset funds.
The SEC authorized BTC ETFs to begin trading in January, and then also did the same for ETH ETFs in July. No other type of cryptocurrency ETF is currently authorized to trade in the United States.
Some experts were surprised by the rapidity with which the conversation regarding digital assets as a crucial component of clients’ portfolios has progressed.
Moreover, the path taken to obtain regulatory approval to launch spot Ethereum ETFs has been a true sprint.
More Approvals to Follow?
Many other cryptocurrency ETF projects are awaiting regulatory approval. This includes new types of single-asset funds, such as Solana (SOL) ETFs, and diversified crypto indices, such as the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index ETF.
National securities exchanges, such as Nasdaq, also hope to begin listing options on BTC and ETH ETFs soon.
Crypto ETFs have seen massive demand since their launch this year. Their adoption by major financial institutions like Morgan Stanley has greatly contributed to this.
There are currently more than $15 billion in inflows. This is more than three times the largest influx over a year in ETF history. This clearly indicates a massive adoption.
