So that was the major leagues but those are not the only ones that wants to launch a Spot Bitcoin Etf
WisdomTree - $94 Billion
VanEck - $78 Billion
Global X - $45 Billion
Ark Invest - $14 Billion
Valkyrie - $1 Billion
If we sum this up, it means that the capital exposure for the spot market of BTC could potentially exceed $16 trillion. However, it is important to note that anyone who believes that the launch of ETFs by these companies will instantly lead to a $16 trillion increase in BTC's market cap may be overlooking the complexities of the market.
What BTC stands to gain is the recognition as a safe asset for investment. It is now acknowledged by major players in the industry. In the long term, there is the potential for substantial capital inflow. It may not happen immediately, but this gradual recognition will pave the way for significant opportunities.
