Crypto ETP demand defies market drop – Fineqia's Matteo Greco provides insights

Episode Summary

Fineqia International Inc (CSE:FNQ) senior associate Matteo Greco talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about how institutional demand for regulated crypto investment products is holding steady, even amid broader market volatility. Greco noted that although the overall crypto market value declined by 5.5% in October, crypto ETP assets only dipped by 2.5%, highlighting a shift in appetite among traditional finance players. “The demand for crypto ETP products still remains somewhat stronger compared to the underlying itself,” he said. Bitcoin ETPs, in particular, have held their ground and now account for around 7% of total Bitcoin supply. According to Greco, the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. in early 2024 opened access for larger capital bases, significantly boosting institutional involvement. He also mentioned treasury plays and unlisted funds as additional vehicles contributing to institutional holdings. On Ethereum, Greco explained that its ETP assets saw nearly 90% growth this year, as investors seek to diversify after gains in Bitcoin. “There’s been a rotation and a higher demand on Ethereum,” he said, underscoring Ethereum’s rising credibility in traditional finance. He also addressed the recent trend of investors shifting from altcoin-specific products toward basket ETPs that include Bitcoin and Ethereum, citing geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties as driving a "flight to quality."
