Analysts believe that the potential approval of in-kind redemption for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs by regulators could further expedite crypto ETF growth. Additionally, companies are optimistic about greater engagement in the market, despite the volatility. The article highlights the shifting dynamics among major market players in the crypto sector, focusing on fundraising, stock performance, and regulatory possibilities.
