Growing Interest
The continuous inflows into Bitcoin spot ETFs highlight institutional investors’ growing interest in gaining exposure to the pioneering cryptocurrency through a regulated product. Indeed, Bitcoin spot ETFs offer a regulated and easier way to gain exposure to BTC than directly buying the digital asset from cryptocurrency exchanges.
Spot bitcoin ETFs continue to be one of the major catalysts driving the price of BTC since the beginning of the year. For instance, consistent inflows from the products have always been followed by a surge in the price of the digital asset. BTC even broke a record by hitting a new all-time high (ATH) for the first time before halving the event because of these financial products.
Since these products were approved in January, the price of BTC has risen by more than 75%. Moreover, the asset’s value has seen an impressive 150% surge over the past year. At the time of writing this line, BTC was hovering around $68,000.
