Crypto ETP Prepares for Massive Adoption
Digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs) including exchange-traded funds (ETFs) such as the spot Bitcoin ETF sparked massive institutional investments in crypto.
As per 21Shares, 937 professional investors owned $11 billion in US spot Bitcoin ETFs, accounting for nearly 20% of the ETFs’ total assets until Q1 2024. The adoption is 10% larger as compared to adoption recorded by Gold ETFs in their first quarter-post launch.
However, institutional investments in Bitcoin ETPs dropped significantly in the last 2 weeks. CoinShares reported that digital asset investment products have recorded $1.2 billion in outflows in two weeks.
Crypto market sentiment has dropped from greed to fear as Bitcoin price tumbled below $60k. BTC price currently trades at $61,017, down 0.26% at press time. The 24-hour low and high are $58,601 and $62,900, respectively. Some investors are buying the dip.
