New opportunities beyond Bitcoin

As crypto continues to witness a surge in both institutional and retail interest, investors are keen on new opportunities.

in January this year, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)’s approved spot bitcoin ETFs. That opened up BTC to new demand. But investors are keen for exposure beyond the flagship digital asset.

Per their June 26 announcement, State Street and Galaxy Digital are eyeing fresh manager-directed strategies and opportunities for investors in the $2.4 trillion crypto ecosystem. These new investment products will offer exposure to companies within the industry, beyond crypto and Bitcoin (BTC).

The spot Ethereum ETFs market is one are analysts say will witness huge growth. In a recent report, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan said spot Ether ETFs could attract over $15 billion in inflows within the first 18 months of their trading debut.

However, State Street and Galaxy are looking to go beyond with new digital asset ETFs, the firms said.

“We believe that the digital assets landscape is so much more than the single crypto components, and that crypto native companies are best equipped to understand that ecosystem and its correlation with financial markets,” Anna Paglia, chief business officer at State Street Global Advisors, said in a statement.
