According to Bloomberg ETF analyst, if spot Bitcoin ETFs get approved, the US could dominate global crypto ETF trading. Currently, North America holds 97.7% of the market.
The United States could make up for 99.5% of the global trading volume for crypto-related exchange-traded funds — but only if spot Bitcoin ETFs are approved, according to a Bloomberg ETF analyst.
Currently, North America accounts for 97.7% of all crypto ETF trading volume, Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas“If/when spot ETFs come out in the U.S. this will likely go to like 99.5%,” he speculated.There is currently a long list of spot Bitcoin ETF applications awaiting approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The regulator is scheduled to give its decision on Ark Invest’s and 21Share’s joint ARKB fund by Aug. 13, though a delay has been widely expected.
On Aug. 10, Bitwise filed an updated prospectus to change its BITC fund from a Bitcoin futures ETF to the"Bitwise Bitcoin and Ether Equal Weight Strategy ETF.” The move mirrors one by Valkyrie on Aug. 5, changing its BTC Futures ETF to include Ethereum Futures.Meanwhile, Balchunas also noted that the top 15 exchange-traded funds in terms of performance all have exposure to crypto and blockchain.
Bitcoin Miners ETF was the top performer with a return of 227% since the beginning of 2023. WGMI is an actively managed fund available through Nasdaq that invests in public companies in the Bitcoin mining industry such as Marathon Digital, Riot, and Cipher Mining. Many of the top-listed mining firms have seen their stocks outperform Bitcoin this year which could explain the stellar performance of products such as WGMI.The VanEck digital transformation ETF was second on the list with a return of 182% so far this year. The DAPP fund also tracks a number of crypto mining and technology firms. These include Coinbase, MicroStrategy, Galaxy Digital, Canaan, and Hive.
