Crypto basket ETF becomes the next trend? The $58.8 billion spot BTC ETF has already proven market demand

Since its launch in January 2024, the spot Bitcoin ETF has been changing the market landscape. The total net inflow of $58.83 billion speaks for itself — traditional investors’ interest in crypto assets far exceeds expectations.

According to Cointelegraph, Will Peck, Head of Digital Assets at WisdomTree, pointed out at The Bridge Conference in New York that the true next growth point will be in diversified crypto basket ETFs. This is not just simple product innovation, but a direct response to market pain points.

Why Will Basket ETFs Become Mainstream?

The core dilemma faced by investors is asymmetric judgment. Most beginners can understand the logic of Bitcoin, but when it comes to assets like XRP, SOL, Stellar, they often feel at a loss. A crypto basket containing multiple tokens precisely solves this problem — it allows exposure to the industry while reducing the volatility risk of individual tokens through diversification.

The Market Is Already Taking Action

In fact, industry pioneers have already seen this opportunity. 21Shares recently launched two crypto index ETFs regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and Hashdex upgraded its Crypto Index US ETF on September 25, adding mainstream assets like XRP, SOL, and Stellar. These moves indicate that the product line of diversified crypto baskets is gradually taking shape.

Adoption Is Hard to Predict, But Inevitable

Peck admits that predicting when crypto index ETFs will achieve true market penetration remains difficult. But he emphasizes that the practicality and ease of use of these products make their eventual dominance unavoidable — just as the success of the spot Bitcoin ETF has already proven.
