Bitcoin ETFs success
Israel’s mutual funds launch at a period when cryptocurrency-based exchange-traded fund (ETFs) are showing remarkable success.

Market experts predict an exciting future of crypto ETFs. Bloomberg ETF Analysts Eric Balchunas, and James Seyffart expect a major boom by 2025. This is due to potential changes in SEC management.
They expect the launch of ETFs that are linked to major cryptocurrencies like Litecoin and XRP. However, some ETFs could face delays due to regulatory issues.
Coinbase also highlights the innovation potential in the ETF sector, such as mechanisms like the creation of in-kind and redemptions. These innovations could reduce costs and improve efficiency, thus strengthening ETFs in the crypto ecosystem.
