Bitcoin's Institutional Appeal Skyrockets, Propels This Futures ETF To Peak Asset Holdings
Portfolio Pulse from Khyathi Dalal
ProShares’ Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO) reached a record $1.47 billion in Assets under Management (AuM), driven by increased institutional interest in Bitcoin and anticipation of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. BITO's trading volume places it in the top 5% of U.S. ETFs. The fund recovered from a low of $500 million in AuM after the FTX collapse, with a 9% increase in Bitcoin prices over the last month contributing to its growth. However, the potential approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs could increase competition for BITO.
