Robinhood CEO Describes SEC’s Decision as “Historic”
This move is seen by many experts and institutions as an important step towards wider adoption of cryptocurrencies, by facilitating exposure to Bitcoin through more traditional investment products.
On the other hand, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev has emphasized the importance of the SEC’s decision, considering it a major milestone for better risk management of crypto investments for their clients. However, players like Vanguard remain hesitant, considering these ETFs as highly speculative and not aligned with their long-term investment philosophy.
Less than 24 hours after their listing, Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded a trading volume exceeding $4.5 billion. In addition, many experts expect to see between $50 and $100 billion in inflows during the first few weeks.
