Bitcoin Amsterdam 2023 – Spot ETFs: The Future Of Institutional Bitcoin

Bitcoin Amsterdam 2023 hosted a discussion on the future of institutional Bitcoin, focusing on spot ETFs. The panel featured Cyril Sabbagh, Managing Director at Melanion Capital, Dan O’Prey, Chief Product Officer at Bakkt, Martin Bednall, CEO of Jacobi Asset Management, offering valuable insights into the significance of spot ETFs and their market challenges.

Spot ETFs represent a significant development for Bitcoin. Cyril representing Melanion Capital, explained the innovative methodology of the Melanion Bitcoin Equities UCITS ETF, an ETF tracking Bitcoin through diversified equities, adhering to the highest European regulation standard, UCITS.

Panelists emphasized the regulatory hurdles in Europe but noted a shifting attitude towards crypto ETFs in Hong Kong and the Middle East. In the United States, the anticipation of spot Bitcoin ETFs approval is growing, driven by institutional interest and BlackRock’s involvement.

Spot ETFs could revolutionize institutional Bitcoin adoption, offering accessible entry points for investors and improving risk-reward profiles in diversified portfolios. The cryptocurrency market is poised for significant developments in 2024, with spot ETFs potentially propelling Bitcoin further into the mainstream.
