BlockBeats News, April 30th, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that the four major financial institutions, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, and UBS Group (managing over $10 trillion in client assets), are expected to fully support a Bitcoin ETF product by the end of this year.
Despite the fact that Bitcoin ETF inflows this year have not been as strong as the same period in 2024 (attracting only about $4 billion so far compared to $11.8 billion at the same time last year), Hougan still predicts that 2025 will see a new record for net inflows.
Matt Hougan stated that institutional participation is on the rise — nine out of the top ten hedge funds globally already hold Bitcoin, including institutions like Emory University, the Texas Teacher Retirement System, and large asset management companies like BlackRock have also entered the market, all of which will drive more investors into the Bitcoin market.
