### **🚀 BLACKROCK CONFIRMATION: INSTITUTIONS ARE MAKING A BIG ENTRY INTO BITCOIN ETF!**
#### **🔍 KEY POINTS FROM TOKEN2049 DUBAI:**
1️⃣ **Change in Bitcoin ETF Fund Flows:**
- **Initially dominated by retail** (including individual investors with $100 million+).
- **Now shifting to institutions & wealth advisory** (banks, hedge funds, wealthy families).
- **"The flows are back in a big way"** – Robert Mitchnick (BlackRock).
2️⃣ **Bitcoin vs. Altcoin ETF:**
- **BTC considered a "safe haven"** – Hedge against global monetary risk.
- **Altcoins (like ETH, SOL) have yet to attract institutional interest** – Still too speculative.
3️⃣ **Regulatory Signals:**
- **SEC under Paul Atkins will not be fully lenient** → Some rules may actually become stricter.
- **In-kind redemptions (physical BTC exchanges) are not guaranteed to be approved**.
