Who’s Buying Bitcoin ETFs (According to 13F Filings)

Three takeaways from Bitwise CIO @Matt_Hougan's weekly memo to investors.

Takeaway 1: Lots of Professional Firms Own Bitcoin ETFs

563 professional investment firms reported owning $3.5 billion worth of bitcoin ETFs as of last Thursday. By the May 15 filing deadline, we could see 700+ firms and total AUM nearing $5 billion.

Takeaway 2: A Historic Scale of Professional Investor Ownership

This scale of ownership is off the charts for a new ETF. Most ETFs attract very few 13F filers in their first few months on the market.

Takeaway 3: Retail Owns Most of the Float in Bitcoin ETFs (for Now)

As a percentage of total investment, professional investors own just 7-10% of all assets, but these allocations could just be a down payment.

1/ XP: Ticketmaster, Minus the Gouging

@xpticket, a blockchain-powered ticketing marketplace is ditching the old Ticketmaster model and its pesky fees.

On XP, each ticket is represented by an NFT, and because it’s built on Solana the fees are drastically lower.

2/ Coinbase Wallet: Sending Money via Text

Sending money in the U.S. via apps like Venmo is easy, but sending internationally—not so simple.

1/ Today, we're thrilled to launch the world's 1st DeFi crypto index fund!

DeFi is an exciting, young, & fast-growing category. We hope this fund makes it easier for more to participate.

Press release here: bitwiseinvestments.com/resources/pres…

Below, a quick run-through of the details —

2/ First, the fund's holdings.

Today the fund holds 9 DeFi cryptoassets: UNI, AAVE, SNX, MKR, COMP, UMA, YFI, ZRX, & LRC

Holdings & weights will change as the space evolves.

The index, & the fund which tracks it, rebalances holdings each month.

How are holdings selected?

3/ The index decides what to hold based on a public set of rules.

Assets are ranked by market cap. The index additionally evaluates trade volumes, custody support, exploit risk & history, & more.

Full ruleset is here: bitwiseinvestments.com/indexes/method…

1/ NEW @BitwiseInvest Paper on Bitcoin in a 60/40 portfolio.

TLDR: Historically, there's no *wrong* time to invest!

If you held for 3 years & rebalanced, BTC boosted returns *regardless of when* you bought!

Even if you bought in Dec 2017!

Thread —

2/ If you happened to invest on the *worst* possible day—the ATH in December 2017—despite Bitcoin being down 67% since then (as of March 31, 2020), you'd still be better off in a 60/40 portfolio!

Quarterly rebalancing is the key.

That's *worst case* though.

3/ For the vast majority of entry points, though, if you bought and held for 3 years with rebalancing, the boost to portfolio performance has been huge.

A 2.5% allocation to Bitcoin has added 15% to a 60/40 portfolio on average!

Tiny allocation, giant impact.
