The approval of spot bitcoin and spot ether ETFs in the U.S. after years of rejected filings also brought confidence to the asset class. Although bitcoin isn’t new, it remained an unregulated arena in the U.S. until last year.
“Believe it or not, Bitcoin now is almost 20 years old,” Tintle said. “I think some of the hesitancies went away when the SEC allowed spot bitcoin and ethereum ETFs because they felt comfortable [knowing]there is a regulatory body overseeing these products.”

With more digital asset strategies coming to market and institutional investors buying in, demand will likely continue this year.
