These figures, highlighted by Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, underscore how advisors have surged to the top “number one by a mile.”
Balchunas estimates that 13F filers currently make up about 20% of total spot Bitcoin ETF assets, a number likely to grow to 35%–40% as traditional finance embraces the product.
There is a similar trend with ether
. Advisors lead with $582 million in exposure, representing 320,089 ETH, while hedge funds hold $244 million, or 134,469 ETH, according to Bloomberg ETF analystJames Seyffart.
The total institutional ETH ETF exposure now stands at over $1.06 billion, or 587,348 ETH. Though smaller than bitcoin’s footprint, it signals rising interest in diversified crypto exposure.
