BlackRock solidifies its monopoly
The most striking feature of the day's fund flow was BlackRock's overwhelming dominance. BlackRock products alone, including Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, saw an inflow of $468.81 million (KRW 691.07394 billion), accounting for 175% of total net inflows.
Meanwhile, Grayscale, which led the early Bitcoin ETF market, is experiencing continued fund outflows from its existing products and is only attracting some funds through its low-fee mini-trust products.
Market experts predict that capital inflow into the ETF market will continue as institutional investors' preference for cryptocurrency investments increases.
