4E: Institutions Increase Exposure to Crypto Assets; Multiple Crypto-themed ETFs Launched in Quick Succession

Chaincatcher2025/10/28 03:48

According to ChainCatcher, as observed by 4E, there were renewed signs of institutional increases in crypto asset-related stocks in the US stock market on Monday. Ark Invest, led by Cathie Wood, purchased a total of approximately $30.9 million worth of Block Inc. (SQ) shares through three ETFs, with ARKK buying 210,000 shares, ARKW and ARKF buying 59,000 and 114,000 shares respectively. Block's stock closed up 0.77% at $80.15 that day. The stock has risen more than 37% over the past six months, indicating that traditional institutions' interest in the crypto payments sector continues to heat up.

On the other hand, BlackRock's bitcoin ETF IBIT has surpassed $70 billion in assets under management, reaching this milestone in just 341 days, making it one of the fastest-growing ETFs in history. This shows that institutional funds are steadily flowing into the bitcoin spot market.

The ETF sector is also seeing a new wave of product launches. Canary Capital announced that its Litecoin ETF and HBAR ETF will be listed on Nasdaq on Tuesday; Grayscale's Solana Trust ETF is expected to be listed on Wednesday, while the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF will debut on the New York Stock Exchange.

In addition, Ethereum financial firm ETHZilla sold about $40 million worth of ETH to advance a stock buyback plan of up to $250 million. Since October 24, the company has spent about $12 million to repurchase 600,000 shares, and management stated they will continue to sell ETH to narrow the discount between the share price and net asset value. ETHZ currently still holds about $400 million worth of ETH assets.

On the macro front, US President Trump stated that he will nominate a successor to Federal Reserve Chairman Powell by the end of the year, with five candidates making the final shortlist, including former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh and BlackRock executive Rick Rieder.

4E reminds investors: Institutions and crypto ETFs are expanding simultaneously, intensifying structural differentiation in the market. In the short term, pay attention to the pace of ETF subscriptions and changes in institutional holdings for their marginal impact on crypto asset liquidity.
