BITCOIN ETF UPDATES 😮
Breaking: BlackRock, Bitwise file updated spot Bitcoin ETF applications with the SEC

Asset management giant BlackRock filed an amended S-1 filing with the SEC. Bitwise also filed an amended S-1 filing today.
Things are definitely heating up in the race for the Bitcoin ETF. 🏎️
When asked what these filings meant, ETF analyst James Seyffart had this to say:
“It just means that the wheel is still turning. Both the SEC and these issuers are working hard to iron things out. These filings are likely the result of many conversations and a lot of man hours on/between both sides.”
These filings have been updated to address matters raised in recent discussions between the SEC and ETF applicants.
Bloomberg ETF analyst, Eric Balchunas, predicted that we would see some updated filings this week. 🔮
So expect more to come…
As a reminder, the Bitcoin ETF final deadline is only 36 days away…
They’re so close. 😎

ETHEREUM SUPPLY SHOCK INCOMING ⚡️
Crypto is the most forward-looking asset class in markets.
To maximise returns, you shouldn’t be looking at what’s happening right now.
You should be looking at what’s going to happen in the future. 🔮
That’s the latest message out from macroeconomic expert, Raoul Pal.

What is happening right now?
2 catalysts are taking up the majority of mainstream attention in crypto.
These are:
Spot Bitcoin ETF (36 days away)
Bitcoin Halving (133 days away)
But looking into the future, we have 7 spot Ethereum ETFs to look forward to:

Their final deadlines sit between late May, 2024 to early August, 2024.
Raoul points out that an epic supply shock is coming for Ethereum:
He’s not wrong, either.
The amount of Ethereum locked away for staking has never been higher:
What’s more?
The rate of Ethereum staked over time is not slowing down, but increasing.
Additionally, interest is returning to crypto. This means the amount of Ethereum being burnt is increasing too:
So here’s the situation:
Records amount of Ethereum being burnt 🔥
Records amount of Ethereum being locked for staking 🔒
7 financial juggernauts fighting over a spot ETF, including BlackRock, Fidelity & Grayscale 🥊
A perfect storm.
We like Bitcoin & Ethereum equally, and hold a ~50/50 split to both.
But if we had to bet which one outperforms in 2024?
We’d pick Ethereum.
But we want to hear from Crypto Nutshell readers. Which digital asset do you hold more of?
What do you hold more of? |

THE STREAK CONTINUES 🔥
For the tenth week in a row, digital asset investments saw net inflows.
The total weekly inflows were $176 million, down from $346 million the week prior.
This brings total inflows over the 10-week stretch to $1.76 billion. The best stretch since October 2021, the same month Bitcoin futures ETFs launched.
If you’re not sure what we’re talking about here, checkout this short article.

As expected, Bitcoin continued to dominate weekly inflows.
With $132.8 million coming in for the week. This brings the total YTD Bitcoin inflows to $1.683 billion.
Ethereum had another positive week, with $30.8 million in inflows.
For the first time this year, Ethereum’s YTD flows are now positive at $10 million. (isn’t that crazy?)

Now let's break these net flows down by country.
Once again Canada, Germany and the United States were the most active. They had net inflows totalling $79m, $56.9m and $53.5m respectively.
Why are Canadian inflows so much more than everyone else’s?
Simple.
As it stands, Canada is currently home to the largest spot Bitcoin ETF.
The Purpose Bitcoin ETF has been growing in popularity over the year with net inflows of $339.29 million YTD. 📈

Institutional money & interest is pouring back into the space.
If this data is anything to go by (it is), imagine how big the launch of the Bitcoin ETFs will be. 😎
