Spot Bitcoin ETFs Gain Popularity, Outshining ProShares Bitcoin futures ETF
Spot Bitcoin ETFs have experienced a surge in inflows, making them strong competitors to other ETFs. The ProShares Bitcoin futures ETF, which was once dominant, has been overshadowed by the newly launched spot Bitcoin ETFs. According to Bloomberg, these spot Bitcoin ETFs have attracted over $10 billion in capital since their US debut on January 11.
Blackrock Bitcoin ETF Emerges as Top Performer
Blackrock’s IBIT has seen remarkable success, with inflows skyrocketing to over $5 billion in just 23 trading days. This puts it among the top 7% of all ETFs by market capitalization. The rapid growth of this conventionally new offering is impressive.
The spot Bitcoin ETFs have also seen significant inflows, with $4 billion in net inflows so far. On February 13 alone, these ETFs recorded a single-day net inflow of $631 million. The increased price of Bitcoin can be attributed to the financial inflow into these funds.
Future Outlook for Bitcoin ETFs
Experts and cryptocurrency proponents agree that spot Bitcoin ETFs have shown undeniable success within just one month of their launch. The introduction of these ETFs has proven that investors still want exposure to Bitcoin through traditional investment vehicles. The market’s recognition of digital assets as a legitimate asset class indicates that the size and assets under management for Bitcoin ETFs will continue to grow in the future. Market prices currently reflect positive expectations for these newly launched ETFs, suggesting they will perform well in the short term and remain sustainable long-term investments.
