Notable: $BITO traded $1.7b last week, 2nd biggest week since its wild WEEK ONE

$GBTC did $800m. That's $2.5b (top 1% among ETFs) into two less desirable methods (vs spot) for exposure. There's clearly an audience for bitcoin spot etfs. Source: Eric Balchunas, Bloomberg

Great ICI-inspired chart showing three of the biggest trends in one shot:

active to passive, mutual fund to ETF and high cost to low cost. Active equity MFs have seen outflows every year for a decade equaling $2.3T (altho their aum still ok bc of bull mkt subsidy) via @JSeyff via Eric Balchunas / Bloomberg
