Increasing Demand for Crypto ETFs
Interest in cryptocurrency ETFs, particularly those associated with Bitcoin and Ethereum, more than ever demonstrates that investors embrace cryptocurrencies than before. ETFs are convenient, legal, and non-physical products that allow investors who want to invest in cryptocurrencies but do not want to own or store them physically.
While the overall cryptocurrency market is still shaky when it comes to regulations and fluctuations in price, investors continue to invest in Bitcoin ETFs and Ethereum ETFs. However, the current results of ARK21Shares and Grayscale show that large fund managers continue to play a key role in meeting this demand.
