Canaccord: The commencement of Ethereum spot ETF trading helps to increase institutional interest
Brokerage firm Canaccord Genuity analyzed in its quarterly report that the approval of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) for spot trading is encouraging. Although digital assets did not perform as well as traditional assets in the second quarter, potential ETF inflows could reverse recent trends. While inflows into Bitcoin ETFs have slowed since their peak in February, institutional adoption continues to grow. Over 50% of large hedge funds worldwide are currently trading/holding spot BTC ETFs, major institutions have just begun to disclose their holdings, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission may soon approve BTC ETF options.
The report added that once Ethereum spot ETFs begin trading, they could also have a positive impact. This should help broaden institutional interest in other assets, benefiting the broader crypto ecosystem.
