- Crypto ETFs retain appeal with convenience seekers.
- Spot Bitcoin ETFs see significant inflows.
Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, highlighted the ongoing importance of crypto ETFs at the Solana Accelerate event in New York on May 23, 2025.
Cathie Wood’s statements underline ETFs’ role in providing easy entry to crypto markets despite the rise in crypto wallet usage.
Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, addressed the relationship between crypto ETFs and wallets, asserting the continued significance of ETFs. She described ETFs as an entry point for those seeking the convenience of cryptocurrency investments. According to Wood, NFTs can act as “insurance policies” when compared to more complex crypto wallets. Spot Bitcoin ETFs, launched in January 2024, have notably accumulated $44.49 billion in inflows.
The substantial inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs coincide with Bitcoin’s new all-time high of $111,970. Wood noted spot Ether ETFs underperformed due to SEC restrictions. Bitcoin ETFs’ success surpasses early gold ETFs, showcasing strong institutional interest.
The push for crypto adoption is reflected in a Bitwise report citing that Bitcoin ETFs amassed $125 billion in assets within 12 months. Regulatory decisions, such as the SEC’s delay on Bitwise’s Ether ETF, continue to shape market sentiment and regulatory landscape.
Future projections suggest Bitcoin ETFs could see $100 billion in net inflows annually by 2027 due to ongoing institutional enthusiasm. Wood’s commentary highlights Bitcoin and Ethereum as educational gateways, with Solana as an eventual follow-up for investors.
“I think ETFs are an important stepping stone because, you know, wallets seem so complicated, so much friction for consumers, they just wanna push a button.” — Cathie Wood, CEO, ARK Invest
