Van Eck had $118M of Bitcoin ETF inflows yesterday (after announcing the waiving of their management fees), which was 6x higher than their second-highest day of fund inflows.
pull down to refresh
It's great that Van Eck has become a philanthropic organization. \s They have to make money somehow. If they are not rehypothecating then maybe they are making a bid/ask spread?
they make money in future years.
this campaign is designed to get money flowing in, and the assumption is that bitcoin will grow in value so much that by the end of the year nobody will want to switch to a different ETF provider because they’d have such high taxes to pay on capital gains.
at that point, customers are locked in and are willing to pay higher management fees.
So they get people in and then rug them with fees? Loss-leading, basically? Lame. But predictable, I guess.
yeah i see it as a loss-leader
Makes sense. This is another good argument for why one should not buy the ETF over holding keys oneself.
Competition is awesome. Now let's see what the other funds do.
hoping someone tries a -0.1% fee for a year
I'm still so surprised by how much demand there is for Bitcoin ETFs. Like, wtf. The demand that will come fromthem buying the underlying - insane.
It’s the only way for certain entities to benefit from the price action. Pension funds, corporations, 401ks…there is a sea of money that was unable to flow into BTC.
So we're at the zero bound, what's next? I feel like earn a yield has to be next, options markets or borrow against your ETF has to be the next products,
