Wealth Firms May Buy More Bitcoin ETF Holdings: Bitwise CEO

Companies specializing in wealth management could potentially boost their holdings in Bitcoin ETFs, as suggested by Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley.

By the year 2024, it will be astonishing to see how many wealth management firms have invested in a bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF). These firms are intelligent and well-informed, and they’re becoming more and more convinced of Bitcoin’s value. Importantly, they only invest in this asset class, making it an exciting new addition to their portfolios.

Based on predictions, Bitcoin ETFs are expected to see increased popularity several months following the Bitcoin halving event.

His anticipation aligns with market sentiment, suggesting growing demand for ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds). Notably, US Bitcoin ETFs experienced increases following five successive withdrawal days just prior to the halving event.

The rapid growth of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), with around $17.3 billion in assets, is closing the gap on Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) and its $19.4 billion. GBTC holds a slight lead with just over $2 billion more in assets, signifying a shift in ETF investments towards Bitcoin.

Grayscale, once a dominant force in the market segment, is facing growing competition from Fidelity and BlackRock. These companies have gained substantial investment in their newly launched ETFs by acquiring large stakes.

Additionally, the evolving trends are projected to bring significant transformation to this burgeoning market. Private bankers are exploring new avenues to engage with Bitcoin through Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs).
