“We believe ETFs are a technology no different than Bitcoin was a technology for asset storage. We believe the next step going forward will be the tokenization of financial assets. And that means every stock, every bond will have its own basically CUSIP. It'll be on one general ledger. Every investor, you and I will have our own number. Our own identification.” - Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock Great interview by Bloomberg where Larry Fink highlights the importance of anticipating future trends, mentioning the potential for ETFs to evolve similarly to Bitcoin, leading to the tokenization of financial assets. This tokenization could streamline processes such as settlement and voting, potentially changing the landscape of financial products, with ETFs expected to become the dominant form of product delivery.

Morgan Stanley Explores Letting Brokers Recommend Bitcoin ETFs Morgan Stanley is considering allowing its 15,000 brokers to recommend Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to customers, according to two senior executives, as reported by AdvisorHub. Currently, the firm only offers these ETFs if customers specifically ask for them. Allowing brokers to suggest these products could increase demand. The company is working on establishing guidelines for brokers recommending Bitcoin ETFs, such as assessing customers' risk tolerance and setting limits on investment amounts and trading frequency. However, there's no set timeline for when these changes might occur. “We’re going to make sure that we’re very careful about it...we are going to make sure everybody has access to it. We just want to do it in a controlled way,” AdvisorHub reported, citing a Morgan Stanley executive. #morganstanely #bitcoinetfs #bitcoin image source: cryptoslate

After doing some research into crypto ETFs, it's actually hilarious to think that once upon a time, the consensus was that institutional money would be the main driver of growth, and would send everything to the moon. According to Bitwise's own research, only 5-7% of the $50 billion Bitcoin ETF market is being traded by professional investors. The rest is retail. This begs the questions - is this an example of a powerful "buzzword" PR drive to encourage sizeable retail inflows, or simply funds underestimating the appetite of institutions?

Many underestimate the potential impact of the Bitcoin ETF, the largest financial Institutions in the World will do nonstop Bitcoin Advertisements on national Television to get their Management Fee. 😎 On top of that, every Synthetic Bitcoin has to be backed by a real one. For institutions, this is not only about having regulatory clearance but also insurance on their assets. For many getting the Insurance is a great deal for the low Management Fee and makes the investment viable if the risk of hacked exchanges gets removed.

Like it or not, institutional investments in #bitcoin are changing the narrative and bringing legitimacy in the eyes retail investors, sovereign wealth fund managers, financial advisors, and family offices. As bitcoin tests previous all-time-highs (ATHs), don't #FOMO into an allocation. Instead, #studybitcoin first, then make the decision for yourself.

I was wondering when this would happen. Franklin Templeton has submitted an ETF proposal to the SEC, aiming to offer exposure to both Bitcoin and Ethereum in a single index fund. Key points: • First-of-its-kind U.S. ETF combining BTC and ETH • Managed by Franklin Templeton (cash and equivalents custodied by BNY Mellon) • Digital assets handled by Coinbase This fund would provide a simplified entry point for investors seeking diversified crypto exposure. This could low-key be a better catalyst for ETH than the plain vanilla ETH ETFs 😂 #ETF #DigitalAssets #FinTech
