Proactive - Interviews for investors

Fineqia International's Matteo Greco on January's trends in crypto ETPs

Episode Summary

Fineqia International Inc (CSE:FNQ) senior associate Matteo Greco talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about current conditions in the crypto market and how exchange-traded products (ETPs) are behaving during a period of price volatility. Greco provided a broad crypto market overview, noting that prices have been trending downward in the short term while demand for crypto ETPs has remained relatively stable. Greco explained that this resilience is largely due to the longer-term investment horizon typically adopted by ETP investors compared with participants in native crypto markets, where assets can be traded instantaneously. Greco highlighted that Bitcoin ETPs continue to dominate the space, accounting for roughly 80% of total crypto ETP assets under management, even as Ethereum ETPs experienced stronger inflows during early 2025. He stressed that this does not indicate a shift away from Bitcoin, but rather reflects how capital flows have evolved following the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in 2024. As Greco stated, “Bitcoin’s role is definitely predominant and demand is strong.” The interview also explored whether ETP activity could be masking broader market sentiment. Greco dismissed this idea, pointing out that recent price declines clearly reflect market conditions, while ETPs represent only a small fraction of the overall crypto market capitalisation. He added that ETPs offer more stability because investments are typically made with a longer time-frame perspective. Looking ahead, Greco said the crypto ETP market remains in its early stages. While pure spot products may be reaching saturation, he expects continued innovation through yield-generating, staking, DeFi and tokenisation-based products.
