Purpose Bitcoin ETF, the world’s first Bitcoin-settled exchange-traded fund (ETF), has attracted over 9,300 Bitcoin ($470 million) in the one week since its launch, data from markets tool Glassnode shows.
Of the mammoth stash, 1,032 Bitcoin (≈$52 million) was purchased yesterday. The buying action came even as Bitcoin saw one of its most brutal dumps ever on Monday, which liquidated $1.6 billion in futures positions.

According to Purpose Investments's data, it holds $470 million in Bitcoin at press time. This proves the presence of massive demand from retail and institutional investors looking to buy Bitcoin from a regulated exchange—instead of using the largely unregulated crypto exchanges that dominate the landscape today.
Such figures come on the back of an explosive opening day for the Purpose Bitcoin ETF. On its first day of trading last week, the product attracted over $165 million from market participants. $80 million of that amount came within the first hour itself.
A major allure for investors is that, unlike Bitcoin futures offered by the likes of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the Purpose Bitcoin ETF holds ‘spot’ Bitcoin instead of simply tracking the prices of Bitcoin. This allows for actual exposure to the asset instead of a synthetic bet on higher prices.
Canada's second Bitcoin ETF will start trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) today, as per a release shared with Decrypt. Canadian ETF operator Evolve, which manages over $1.7 billion and has been in operation since 2017, will offer its first-ever Bitcoin product under the “EBIT” ticker. Trading will go live when the market opens at 9.30 AM ET. EBIT is a Bitcoin-based ETF that will hold actual Bitcoin—custodied by New York-based crypto fund Gemini—for each share purchased or traded by inv...
Purpose offers two ETFs to investors: a BTCC.U product geared to those buying with US dollars and a BTCC.B product for those with Canadian dollars. The former holds 0.00019014 BTC per share (9.59 USD) while the latter holds 0.00014976 BTC (7.55 USD) per share.
Meanwhile, the firm’s not done with its Bitcoin-focused offerings. It announced the launch of an options product on Canada’s Montreal Exchange yesterday, one that investors can now use to place bets on the future prices of the Purpose Bitcoin ETF.
Canada’s Bitcoin hopefuls are clearly spoiled for choice.
Editor's Note: A previous version of this article used both $470 million in Bitcoin (per Glassnode's data) and $570 million in AUM (per the Purpose Investments website). We have clarified to reflect the current figures.
Prominent technology investor Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest released an updated Bitcoin price target, outlining a path for the top cryptocurrency to reach a price of as much as $2.4 million per coin by 2030. Released on Thursday, the latest report levels up Ark’s previous price predictions from its annual Big Ideas report, which used total addressable markets (TAM) and penetration rate assumptions to determine a price prediction for Bitcoin. Now, the firm combined its previous predictions with expe...
Bitcoin ETFs attracted $442 million in inflows yesterday, marking the fourth consecutive trading day of positive accumulation. Markets have been green since last Thursday, but were closed in various regions in observation of Good Friday and Easter. Total assets under management now stand at $108 billion, according to data from CoinGlass, reaching its highest level since late February, as Bitcoin continues its recovery from the low $80,000 range this week. BTC, the original cryptocurrency, is cur...
An Ethereum user fell victim to an address poisoning scam on Sunday, resulting in the loss of nearly $700,000 worth of the USDT stablecoin. Experts warn this rising form of scam is easy to fall victim to if users aren’t militant in fully checking the address that they’re sending funds to. What is address poisoning? For address poisoning to work, malicious actors create an address that looks strikingly similar to an address that the victim has interacted with recently. The attacker will then send...
