This highlights the high interest of investors in cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds and their growing role in the financial industry.
Against this background, the performance of similar funds based on Ethereum looks much more modest. As of February 21, their total trading volume was only $56.15 billion, which is several times less than Bitcoin ETFs.
Among the Bitcoin funds, BlackRock's IBIT stands out, having increased its share of the total trading volume to 75% during its operation, although at the start its share was only 25%. Such success is explained by the high level of trust in the world's largest asset manager, as well as the fund's active marketing strategy. According to SoSoValue, the total assets under management of all Bitcoin ETFs has exceeded $110 billion, of which more than half — about $56 billion — are accounted for by IBIT.
However, despite the impressive results, the Bitcoin spot ETF segment faces certain challenges. In recent weeks, the market conditions have deteriorated, which has affected investment flows. According to analysts at The Block, this month alone, net capital outflows from ETFs amounted to $886 million. This indicates increased caution among investors who are reacting to the volatility of the crypto market and macroeconomic factors.
While Bitcoin ETFs continue to attract significant capital and play an increasingly important role in the market, current trends point to a possible slowdown in growth, especially in a volatile market environment.
