Crypto Dominates ETF Rankings, Claims Half of Top 20 Newcomer Spots
Crypto-related exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have taken the lead in the financial market, capturing 10 of the top 20 newcomer spots for 2024. This surge highlights the growing appeal of digital assets in traditional investing.
According to wealth manager Nate Geraci, more than 1,300 ETFs launched since early last year. Remarkably, the top four ETFs by total inflows all focus on cryptocurrencies. Leading this charge, the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) has garnered over $57.4 billion. Fidelity’s FBTC follows with $12.1 billion, while BlackRock’s Ethereum fund, ETHA, sits at $9.6 billion. The YieldMax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF (MSTY) rounds out the top four with $7.2 billion.
Other notable players include the ARK 21’s ARKB, with $2.38 billion, and Bitwise’s BITB, at $2.32 billion. Meanwhile, the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF (BTC) attracted $1.66 billion.
ETF expert Eric Balchunas called the current leaderboard “wild.” He noted that NEOS and YieldMax making it into the top 10 was a “semi-shock,” revealing the unpredictable nature of the market.
Despite recent fluctuations, crypto ETFs are showing resilience. Spot ETH ETFs faced substantial outflows last week. On August 4, they lost $465 million, mainly due to BlackRock’s ETHA, which accounted for a large portion of this decline. However, this performance quickly rebounded. On August 8 alone, spot ETH ETFs recorded $461.21 million in net inflows, boosting their cumulative total to $9.82 billion.
Conversely, spot BTC ETFs experienced notable turbulence. They shed $812 million on August 1, marking a significant withdrawal. Still, they bounced back by August 8, posting $403.88 million in net inflows to push their total to $54.43 billion.
The rapid growth of crypto ETFs showcases their ability to offer value and innovation in the financial landscape. As they continue to attract investor interest, these products are shaping the future of how people perceive and engage with digital currencies.
