That month marked the launch of bitcoin futures ETFs, including the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO) that quickly grew to having more than $1 billion in assets under management.
Interest in BITO has picked up in recent months as optimism around the potential approval of spot bitcoin ETFs persists.

The futures-based fund has seen net inflows of $270 million since Nov.1, according to ETF.com — hitting an asset peak of $1.47 billion last week .
ProShares products accounted for roughly $39 million of the crypto product inflows last week, the CoinShares data shows. Canada-based Purpose Investments was the only provider that tallied more inflows, seeing about $50 million.
Bitcoin-related investment offerings accounted for $133 million of the $176 million of crypto product inflows last week as the asset’s price has continued to rally.
The BTC price stood at roughly $41,600 at noon on Monday in New York — up 13% from seven days ago. Bitcoin’s price briefly eclipsed $42,000 Monday morning .
The recent surge in bitcoin’s price can be attributed to several factors, according to Deribit Chief Commercial Officer Luuk Strijers. In a statement, Strijers highlighted “easing concerns following the settlement of Binance’s legal matters, escalating geopolitical tensions, easing of inflation, and the steady increase in institutional engagement.” This comes alongside the anticipation of a positive SEC decision on proposed spot bitcoin ETFs, he added.
Ether-related products made up $31 million of last week’s net inflows, while blockchain equities saw a seventh straight week of positive flows. The latter product segment brought in $17 million last week, the largest since July 2022.
Crypto-related stock prices jumped Monday morning . Coinbase and MicroStrategy were up about 6% and 7%, respectively, on the day, as of 12 pm ET. Crypto miners Marathon Digital Riot Platforms each had notched daily stock price gains of roughly 8.5% at that time.
