Spot Bitcoin ETFs broke records in 2024 — Can they do it again in 2025?
Jan.10 marks the 1-year anniversary of the spot Bitcoin ETF launches. After a beltbusting year that saw $129 billion in inflows, can the EFTs do it again?
The approval and launch of the spot Bitcoin ETFs were among the most anticipated financial products of recent years. As 2024 closed, the $129 billion in total net assets held by the ETFs suggests that 2025 will be even more groundbreaking.
Exchange-traded funds are financial products that reflect the value of their underlying assets. Regulated, transparent, and highly liquid, ETFs provide investors with access to assets they might otherwise be unable or unwilling to hold directly. This format is especially appealing for cryptocurrencies, as it offers a regulated, widely accessible, and tax-efficient investment option.
Since 2013, the US Securities and Exchange Commission has consistently rejected all spot Bitcoin ETF applications. Firms such as VanEck, WisdomTree, Bitwise, ARK Invest, 21Shares, and Grayscale faced repeated refusals.
