Bloomberg reported on February 23 that the $30 billion investment firm chose funds from BlackRock, Fidelity, Bitwise, and Franklin Templeton based on factors like as asset growth, trading volume, and low costs.
Since its launch on January 11, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has received investments totaling $6.6 billion, while Fidelity has witnessed inflows of $4.8 billion into its Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC). The two issuers with the lowest costs are Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) and Franklin Bitcoin ETF (EZBC), which charge 0.2% and 0.19%, respectively.
“Bitwise and Franklin Templeton have committed to being the lowest-cost providers in the space, and have also seen large inflows and trading volumes. Both firms also have established in-house digital asset research teams and expertise that we feel are beneficial to the continuing growth and management of the products, as well as advisor research and education,” told Bloomberg Grant Engelbart, the company’s vice president and investment strategist.
Bitcoin ETF Flow - 24 Feb 2024
All data now in, except perhaps for the Galaxy/Invesco product
Platforms for financial advisors are an essential first step in reaching new markets with cryptocurrency goods. Big trading companies like LPL Financial Holdings are looking into the newly authorized Bitcoin ETFs right now. If authorized, more than 19,000 independent financial advisors managing assets valued at $1.4 trillion will have access to the funds. Charles Schwab and Fidelity financial advisers already have access to the ETFs.
The implementation of the Bitcoin fund may be delayed by due diligence from trading platforms, says James Seyffart, an analyst with Bloomberg ETFs. Many large organizations, such as these warehouses and platforms where brokers and advisers operate, are not able to purchase anything at will. The analyst said, "There's like an approved list and a not approved list."
