"Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs stand out among new ETFs launched in 2024"

ETF Store President Nate Geraci criticized the claim that there is limited demand for crypto-related ETFs, pointing out that of the 525 ETFs launched in 2024, 13 of the top 25 are directly related to Bitcoin or Ethereum, and if MicroStrategy's MSTR Option Strategy ETF is included, there are 14. The top four ETFs in 2024 are all related to Bitcoin, three of the top five, and five of the top seven are related to well-known crypto assets. Bitcoin ETFs dominate in terms of inflows, such as the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF, which has the highest inflows. Ethereum-related ETFs are also in the spotlight, such as the iShares Ethereum Trust ETF and Fidelity's Ethereum Fund ETF. In addition, Franklin Templeton has applied to the SEC to launch index ETFs for Bitcoin and Ethereum, which, if approved, will provide investors with investment opportunities without directly holding cryptocurrencies.
