Half of the funds (ETFs) traded on the top 20 US exchanges are linked to digital assets, highlighting the sector’s growing appeal to investors.
ETF analyst Nate Geraci said Monday that more than 1,300 ETFs have been launched since its launch in 2024, with crypto assets dominating the top 20 investment products in the inflow.
These include Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) ETFs, as well as tracking funds for leveraged positions and strategies (MSTR) exposed products.
Geraci shared data that the top four assets from influx are crypto-related, including BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT).
Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) continued at $12.1 billion, while Ishares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) raised $9.6 billion.
The Aldemax MSTR Options Revenue Strategy ETF (MSTY), an ETF designed to generate monthly income with an option creation strategy for MSTR stocks, was in the top four with an inflow of $7.2 billion.
The stock is not crypto-related, but the company is known for holdings by the Bitcoin Treasury.
Crypto-related funds dominate ETFs launched since 2024
Top-Performance crypto ETFs include five spot Bitcoin funds, two spot ether funds, two strategy-focused ETFs, and one leveraged ETH ETF.
Outside the top four, ARK 21 share Bitcoin ETF (ARKB), Bitwise Bitcoin ETF Trust (BITB), and Fidelity Ethereum Fund ETF (FETH) ranked 11th, 12th and 13th respectively, with over $2.2 billion inflows.
Additionally, the grayscale Bitcoin Minitrust ETF (BTC), 2x Ether ETF (ETHU), and Defiance Daily Target 2x Long MSTR ETF (MSTX) ranked 18th, 19th and 20th respectively, with over $1.5 billion inflows each.
The rise of crypto-chain ETFs reflects investors’ desire for the exposure of regulated exchange sales to digital assets, a sector that has long been dominated by more complex investment mechanisms.
