Bitcoin ETFs to push US slice of crypto ETF trading volume to 99.5% — Analyst
1 min readThe United States could make up for 99.5% of the global trading volume for crypto-related exchange-traded funds — but only if spot Bitcoin ETFs are approved, according to a Bloomberg ETF analyst.
Currently, North America accounts for 97.7% of all crypto ETF trading volume, Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas
The VanEck digital transformation ETF was second on the list with a return of 182% so far this year. The DAPP fund also tracks a number of crypto mining and technology firms. These include Coinbase, MicroStrategy, Galaxy Digital, Canaan, and Hive.
Every single one of the Top 15 best performing equity ETFs this year is crypto-related. $WGMI leading way w +227%. Finally attracting flows too, altho pretty modest considering these perf numbers. This is part of our monthly Crypto ETF Report via @JSeyff & @SirYappityyapp pic.twitter.com/iPIHhH82Jr
