Spot Bitcoin ETF Surge Set to Eclipse $50 Billion Crypto ETP Market

  • Spot Bitcoin ETFs may significantly influence the current $50.3 billion crypto ETP market.
  • 2023 sees a $1.6 billion influx in crypto ETFs, reflecting growing institutional interest in the cryptocurrency sector.
  • Prospective U.S. approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs could reshape the crypto investment landscape, with substantial asset management growth anticipated.

BitMEX Research’s recent data reveals a burgeoning crypto exchange-traded product (ETP) market, currently featuring around 150 products with up to $50.3 billion in assets under management. This market, primarily comprising spot and futures funds, predominantly tracks the performance of leading cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. 

With the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) potentially greenlighting spot Bitcoin ETFs as early as January 10, the crypto investment sector is on the cusp of a significant shift. Bitwise predicts these ETFs could command an astounding $72 billion in assets within five years, potentially doubling the current market. 

In offering a conservative viewpoint, VanEck projects about $2.4 billion into these products in early 2024. This optimism reflects a market trend and a broader institutional pivot towards crypto investments.

In 2023, the investment landscape was dominated by the top 20 crypto funds, with these ETFs drawing a combined $1.3 billion. The ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO) stood out, amassing an additional $278.7 million. Launched amid a 2021 crypto bull market, BITO’s performance underlines the growing investor confidence in crypto-focused funds.

As crypto investment prepares for the potential SEC nod to spot Bitcoin ETFs, BitMEX Research has meticulously compiled a comprehensive list of the current crypto ETPs. This list, reflecting the market as of December 22, 2023, encapsulates the dynamism and scale of the existing crypto ETP landscape, albeit with room for minor corrections to enhance accuracy.

With the anticipated introduction of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States, the entire crypto-related ETF market, valued at $50 billion, could see a dramatic upsurge. This potential shift, catalyzed by the SEC’s pending decision, may redefine investment patterns in the crypto sphere.

Moreover, the consistent flow of institutional funds into crypto ETFs, evidenced by the $1.6 billion net inflows this year, an ETF research firm ETFGI report underscores the growing confidence in digital assets. The final quarter of 2023 alone witnessed a remarkable $1.31 billion influx, nearly doubling the previous year’s total. This surge in investment activity accentuates the sector’s robust growth trajectory.

Ethereum (ETH) price is aiming for $1,800 in February — Here is why

Image
ETH price is finding support at $1,560 and multiple data points are beginning to hint at a possible rally to $1,800 before the end of February. Ether (ETH) has been struggling with the $1,680 resistance since Jan. 20. Still, the ascending triangle pattern and improvements in investor sentiment in ETH derivatives provides hope that Ether price could reach $1,800 or higher by the end of February. This, of course, depends on how the Ether price behaves as it reaches the pattern deadline by mid-February.  Ether/USD price index, 12-hour. Source: TradingView From one side, traders are relieved that Ether is trading up 33% year-to-date, but the repeated failures to break the $1,680 resistance coupled with negative newsflow might give bears the power to cancel the bullish triangle pattern. According to a Jan. 30 report from Axios, New York State's Department of Financial Services is reportedly investigating Cryptocurrency Exchange Gemini over claims that the firm made regarding assets in...
