 <p>However, some are already seeing the spot ETF products as threats to the existing Bitcoin futures ETFs already available in the market. At present, the most accessible route for US fund investors to engage with cryptocurrency is by investing in products that follow Bitcoin futures contracts. These funds made a significant splash when they were introduced in October 2021, setting records.</p>

 <p>However, they struggled to maintain that initial excitement, and their collective market value has since stabilized at around $1 billion. Analysts suggest that the introduction of spot-based funds would more accurately track the coin’s price and potentially at a lower cost. The spot product could challenge the existing <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Bitcoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/bitcoin.html">Bitcoin</a> futures ETFs in the market. James Seyffart, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence said:</p> 
 <blockquote> 
  <p>“We would expect the assets and volume to coalesce around one or multiple spot-<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Bitcoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/bitcoin.html">Bitcoin</a> ETFs because they are superior products for most types of investors. New money, particularly those looking to buy and hold over longer time periods, will be attracted to a spot product, which is also likely to be cheaper and more efficient than the current futures ETFs on US exchanges.”</p>

 <p>As per the analysts from Bloomberg Intelligence, the arrival of spot <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Bitcoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/bitcoin.html">Bitcoin</a> ETFs could soon make it a $100 billion market.

 <p>After a strong momentum in the early days, the Bitcoin futures ETFs have failed to keep the momentum going further. They have been trailing Bitcoin’s rally this year. Analysts believe that once the spot Bitcoin ETFs come into the market, there could be significant outflows from the Bitcoin futures ETFs. This is due to the higher costs of the latter and their underperformance.</p> 
 <p>The introduction of spot ETFs, which are more likely to provide a real-time reflection of supply and demand, could lead to a shift in trading activity and liquidity away from US <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Bitcoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/bitcoin.html">Bitcoin</a> futures markets if they replace futures-based <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Bitcoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/bitcoin.html">Bitcoin</a> ETFs, as noted by JPMorgan strategist Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou in a July report.</p> 
 <p>Spot funds may present their own attractive qualities, including the potential for significantly lower fees compared to the current lineup of futures-based ETFs. In the increasingly competitive ETF landscape, fee battles have become a common occurrence, both in emerging categories and well-established asset classes. Should <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Bitcoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/bitcoin.html">Bitcoin</a> ETFs launch, many anticipate intense competition among various issuers.</p>
