What Impact Can Spot Bitcoin ETFs Have?

According to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas’ prediction, the approval of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the US could lead to North America capturing 99.5% of the global crypto fund trading volume.

In his recent post, Balchunas revealed that North America already accounts for 97.7% of the global crypto ETF trading volume and stated the following;

“If spot ETFs are launched in the United States, this ratio could potentially increase to 99.5%.”

Currently, there are several spot Bitcoin ETF applications under review by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The decision on Ark Invest and 21Shares’ joint Bitcoin ETF application is expected to be made by August 13, but an extension is likely.

Crypto Funds Dominate the Best ETF Performances

The potential impact of spot crypto ETF approval in the United States highlights the current dominance of blockchain and crypto-focused funds among the best-performing ETFs this year.

According to Balchunas, all of the top 15 performing securities ETFs in 2023 will have exposure to the crypto and blockchain sector. The Valkyrie Bitcoin Miners ETF is currently the best performer with a 227% return since the beginning of the year.

Other leading crypto ETFs include the Viridi Cleaner Energy Crypto-Mining & Semiconductor ETF (RIGZ), which invests in crypto infrastructure and Web3 companies, and the Bitwise Crypto Industry Innovators ETF (BITQ).

As optimism grows around spot Bitcoin ETF approval this year, the SEC has been cautious due to concerns about market manipulation and investor protection in the crypto market. The ultimate approval could unleash an institutional investment wave and securely bring Bitcoin and crypto into the mainstream.
