Balchunas shot down predictions that the approvals of spot Bitcoin ETFs would lead to a $25 billion injection into the crypto space, calling them “insane” in an Apr. 15 <a href="https://twitter.com/EricBalchunas/status/1779867078603718970" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">post</a>&nbsp;on X.
He said the BTC ETFs are likely to be launched next week.

Balchunas says the Hong Kong ETF market is “tiny” compared to the US, and that Chinese investors won’t, at least legally, have access to them.
The ETF issuers that received approval in Hong Kong are also dwarfed by “big fish” asset managers such as BlackRock, which currently has over $9 trillion in assets under management, said Balchunas. 
“US spot Bitcoin ETFs have more assets than the entire HK ETF market,” the analyst said in a follow-up post on X.

 US spot Bitcoin ETFs also charge “dirt cheap fees” that are much lower than the approximate 1-2% fees that the Hong Kong-based funds are expected to implement, Balchunas added.
“Other countries adding btc ETFs is no doubt additive but it’s nickel-dime compared to the mighty US market,” he said.
