Cumulative Inflows and Market Impact
Despite the recent outflows, the 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs have amassed a total net inflow of $15.30 billion since their listing in January. The price of bitcoin has seen a slight decline, dropping 1.48% over the past 24 hours to $66,704.
In related developments, SEC Chair Gary Gensler indicated that a decision on spot ether funds might come over the summer. Last month, the SEC gave preliminary approval for spot ether ETF applications, with issuers awaiting the green light for their S-1 registration statements.
Analysts at JPMorgan expect spot ether funds to start trading before November this year. Bitfinex analyst Jag Kooner predicts these funds could capture up to 20% of investments currently directed to spot bitcoin ETFs. However, crypto derivatives trader Gordon Grant noted that institutional investors might find spot ether funds less appealing due to the removal of staking components, a decision driven by regulatory uncertainties.
