BlackRock, a major player in the investment world, believes the demand for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is just getting started.
Focusing on BTC and ETH
According to a Bloomberg analyst, a BlackRock executive stated that they’re concentrating on their BTC and ETH ETFs because of the high demand. They’re currently not focusing on altcoin ETFs. The executive noted that only a small percentage of their clients currently own these ETFs, indicating significant room for growth.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) currently holds around $54 billion in assets, while its iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) holds about $3.8 billion. IBIT launched in January and ETHA in July.
The Future of Bitcoin ETFs
Mike Venuto of Tidal Financial Group added that Bitcoin is becoming increasingly important in options trading strategies. He predicts that many future ETFs will combine Bitcoin with other assets, creating a wide range of investment options. He mentioned examples such as combining Bitcoin with Nvidia, Tesla, or MicroStrategy stocks.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $101,895.
