Vanguard ‘Finally Caves’ Allowing Crypto ETF Trading For 50M Clients

Starting Tuesday, December 2, Vanguard will allow exchange-traded funds and mutual funds tracking Bitcoin and “select other cryptos” to begin trading on its platform, reported ETF expert Eric Balchunas.

The move, which will also allow trading of Ether, XRP, and Solana ETFs, is a major shift in stance for the asset manager, which has, up until now, avoided crypto assets.

The American investment giant and the world’s second-largest asset manager has more than 50 million clients and assets under management topping $11 trillion. They’ve “finally caved,” commented ETF expert Nate Geraci.

Persistent Demand For Crypto ETFs

The change has been driven by persistent investor demand, with spot Bitcoin ETFs attracting billions since their launch in January 2024, reported Bloomberg.

He added that the administrative processes to service these types of funds have matured, “and investor preferences continue to evolve.” Kadjeski confirmed that the firm has no plans to launch its own crypto products.

The shift occurred after Salim Ramji, a former BlackRock executive and blockchain advocate, became Vanguard’s CEO over a year ago.

There was little reaction to the big news on spot markets, which are still reeling from multiple leverage flush-outs in recent weeks.

Crypto ETF Outlook

US spot Bitcoin ETFs continued a four-day inflow streak on Monday, despite spot markets tanking. The inflow was a minor $370,000, primarily from the Fidelity fund, which saw $67 million in inflows, and ARK 21Shares with $7.4 million, while BlackRock’s IBIT outflowed $74 million.

Spot ETF flows have stabilized recently, indicating institutional investor resilience, while retail traders have panicked again.

In related news, Grayscale is set to launch the first spot Chainlink ETF on Tuesday. The underlying asset LINK has crashed 30% over the past month in the altcoin meltdown.

‘Groundbreaking’: Barry Silbert Reacts to Approval of ETF with XRP Exposure

The post ‘Groundbreaking’: Barry Silbert Reacts to Approval of ETF with XRP Exposure appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A “combo” ETF  Crypto ETF trailblazer  Digital Currency Group founder Barry Silbert has reacted to the approval of the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund  (GDLC), the very first multi-crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF), describing it as “groundbreaking.”  “Grayscale continues to be the first mover, driving new product innovations that bridge tradfi and digital assets,” Silbert said while commenting on the news.  Peter Mintzberg, chief executive officer at Graysacle, claims that the team behind the world’s leading cryptocurrency asset manager is working “expeditiously” in order to bring the product to the market.  A “combo” ETF  The ETF in question offers exposure to Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), as well as several other major altcoins, including the Ripple-linked XRP token, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA). XRP, for instance, has a 5.2% share of the fund, making it the third-largest constituent.  The fund initially debuted as a private placement for accredited investors back in early 2018, and its shares later became available on over-the-counter (OTC) markets.  In early July, the SEC approved the conversion of GDLC into an ETF, but it was then abruptly halted for a “review” shortly after this.  As of Sept. 17, the fund currently has a total of $915.6 million in assets.  Crypto ETF trailblazer  It is worth noting that Grayscale is usually credited with kickstarting the cryptocurrency ETF craze by winning its court case against the SEC.  The SEC ended up approving Bitcoin ETFs in early 2024 and then followed up with Ethereum ETFs.  Grayscale’s flagship GBTC currently boasts more than $20.5 billion in net assets, according to data provided by SoSoValue.  Source: https://u.today/groundbreaking-barry-silbert-reacts-to-approval-of-etf-with-xrp-exposure
