Robert Mitchnick, Head of Digital Assets at BlackRock, discussed the surge in Bitcoin ETFs driven by retail and investor demand, wealth advisor adoption, and institutional adoption.
Institutional adoption of Bitcoin is still early, with some firms fast-tracking the ETF approval process, making Bitcoin more appealing for diversification due to its unique risk and return profile.
Despite remaining volatile, Bitcoin's decreased volatility has attracted institutions interested in its correlation with traditional assets for compelling portfolio construction.
Around a dozen Bitcoin ETFs are currently competing in the market, with strong demand reflecting the success and popularity of these products in the space.
