Confidence Shown Despite Market Dip
Bitwise’s Chief Investment Officer, Matt Hougan, observed that institutional interest remains strong, noting, “If institutions will buy Bitcoin when prices are volatile, imagine what could happen in a bull market.” The share of assets under management in Bitcoin ETFs increased to 21.15% from 18.74%, with institutions holding $11 billion in these funds.
Bitcoin ETFs Attract Big Players
The report challenges the notion that Bitcoin ETFs are mainly for retail investors. With Wall Street giants like Goldman Sachs (GS) holding positions in seven out of eleven Bitcoin ETFs, the influx of institutional capital signals a promising future. Bitwise predicts that ETF inflows will continue to grow, with even larger investments expected in the coming years.
