On Monday, financial services firm Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH) released the results of its 2025 Global ETF Investor Survey, with data showing that more than three-quarters of US investors “intend to increase their exposure to crypto-focused ETFs over the next 12 months.”
The survey found that demand for crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) was highest in Asia, at 80%, while Europe was the region with the lowest interest, at 56%. The US came in at the upper end of the spectrum, with 76% of investors expressing strong interest in expanding their portfolios into crypto ETFs.
Crypto ETF Fever After SEC Approval
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved several spot bitcoin ETFs in January last year, kicking off a wave of investment in these funds. Among them, Blackrock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has been a notable success, attracting more net inflows than any other crypto ETF.
According to Blackrock’s report, the IBIT fund has grown to over $50 billion in assets under management, with a return of 113.61% since its inception. This marks IBIT as the leading bitcoin ETF on the market today.
Other Major Bitcoin ETFs
Meanwhile, the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) is the second-largest bitcoin ETF, with just under $20 billion in assets under management, or about a third of IBIT’s asset size.
The rapid growth of bitcoin ETFs and the growing interest from investors are continuing to fuel the growth of the global cryptocurrency market, as these funds increasingly become an important part of the long-term investment strategies of many investors around the world.
