Deep dives
Increased Capital Flow Through ETFs
The approval of options for Bitcoin ETFs, like BlackRock's iBIT, is expected to lead to greater capital flow within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. This increased availability of capital often trickles down from major, more liquid assets to less liquid and more volatile investments. Historically, during periods of heightened capital availability, there is a tendency for riskier assets to attract investment, as market participants seek higher returns. As options unlock new lending possibilities against ETF collateral, this influx of capital could further accelerate the flow into speculative assets such as meme coins and NFTs.
