According to PANews, Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart believes that the next phase of crypto asset ETF adoption will be driven by financial advisors managing assets for high-net-worth individuals, large brokerage firms, and brokers. In a recent episode of the 'Coin Stories' podcast, Seyffart discussed how these financial institutions, which manage trillions of dollars in assets, play a crucial role in expanding the BTC ETF market. Seyffart noted that the performance of BTC ETFs in their first year has been exceptionally strong, surpassing many analysts' expectations. While Bloomberg had a positive outlook on BTC ETFs, the actual performance exceeded their forecasts. He mentioned that although there have been some outflows in recent weeks, the funds have only decreased by about $40 billion from their peak, with current assets totaling approximately $110 billion. The IBIT ETF has been one of the most actively traded, reaching $50 billion in just over 100 days, breaking previous records that took over a thousand days to achieve. Given this momentum, Seyffart believes that using BTC ETFs as a tool for portfolio allocation for high-net-worth clients could drive their continued success. Despite recommendations from large companies like BlackRock to allocate 1% to 2% of portfolios to BTC, Seyffart emphasized that 'large brokerage firms and big banks' do not allow investors to purchase crypto asset ETFs. He added that these brokers, financial advisors, and brokerage platforms control significant amounts of money, including funds from billionaires. These institutions influence asset allocation decisions across a wide range of financial portfolios. Seyffart suggested that if these institutions begin to include BTC ETFs as part of their portfolios, for example, at a 5% allocation, it could drive continued growth in adoption. In addition to institutional adoption, Seyffart observed a trend of corporations, states, and even countries incorporating BTC into their balance sheets. This trend helps enhance the legitimacy and stability of BTC as an asset class within traditional finance. However, he stressed that increased acceptance by financial intermediaries could be a key driver of ETF growth. Today, asset management firm Grayscale released a report claiming that high-net-worth investors are showing interest in crypto assets. Grayscale CEO Peter Mintzberg stated on social media, 'It's exciting to see the momentum shifting for crypto assets, with more investors recognizing the value of digital assets. Notably, 38% of high-net-worth investors believe their portfolios will include crypto assets in the future.'
