Investment Advisors Dominate Bitcoin & Ethereum ETFs
Institutional adoption of crypto continues to grow, with investment advisors now leading the charge in U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs. According to recent SEC filings, advisors hold over $10.28 billion in Bitcoin ETF assets, representing 124,753 BTC — nearly 50% of the total declared holdings. Hedge funds follow with $6.9 billion (83,934 BTC), while brokerages and holding companies trail behind.
Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas noted that 13F filers (institutional managers) now account for about 20% of total spot BTC ETF assets, with projections suggesting this could rise to 35–40% as traditional finance (TradFi) continues integrating crypto.
The trend extends to Ethereum ETFs as well. Investment advisors lead again with $582 million (320,089 ETH), while hedge funds hold $244 million (134,469 ETH). In total, institutional investors now hold $1.06 billion in ETH ETFs (587,348 ETH), signaling a growing appetite for diversified crypto exposure.
This sharp increase in institutional involvement reflects a significant shift in how crypto is being embraced—not just as a speculative asset, but as part of mainstream portfolio strategies.
