#ChartoftheDay According to data from Trader T, #Bitcoin spot ETFs have returned to a positive net inflow overall.

Impacted by the recent sluggishness in the crypto market and the volatility in US stocks, Bitcoin spot ETFs suffered over a week of negative net inflows before yesterday.

Nevertheless, in retrospect, the launch of $BTC spot ETFs was successful in many aspects.

According to Form 13F filings with the SEC, over 1,000 institutional investors are currently holding BTC spot ETFs. iShares Bitcoin Trust (#IBIT ) by BlackRock is the most popular one, with over 600 institutional holders. About 20% of IBIT’s shares are held by institutions and large advisors, and analysts project the figure to double next year.

Given the positive market reactions for BTC spot ETFs, Wall Street and financial institutions in other countries are reported to be considering including them as constituents in their asset management products. Initially, the allocation to BTC spot ETFs should not be high. Nevertheless, it signals more profound market acceptance and enhanced regulatory compliance.

Compared to BTC spot ETFs, Ethereum spot ETFs are underperforming the market expectations. For one reason, $ETH spot ETFs only allow for unstaked Ether holdings. For another reason, Ether’s price performance has been unsatisfactory this year.

All in all, spot ETFs are a necessary path for major cryptocurrencies to gain regulatory compliance.
