🚀 SEC Greenlights In-Kind Redemptions for Bitcoin & Ethereum ETFs – ETH ETFs Smash Inflow Records (July 30, 2025)

The crypto world just got a seismic regulatory nod—Wall Street’s favorite workaround is now official. The SEC’s approval of in-kind redemptions for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs cracks open the floodgates for institutional capital, while ETH funds ride a historic inflow streak. Here’s why TradFi might finally stop pretending they ‘don’t get’ crypto.

ETF Breakthrough: No More Cash-Only Handcuffs

The SEC’s move kills the cash-creation bottleneck—asset managers can now swap BTC/ETH directly for shares. Expect tighter spreads and smoother arbitrage (and fewer excuses from hedge funds still ‘evaluating the space’).

Ethereum Steals the Inflow Show

ETH ETFs just notched their 18th straight week of net inflows—$420M in the past 5 days alone. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s ‘boring’ dominance gets another nudge downward as institutions chase yield beyond the OG crypto.

The Fine Print: Wall Street’s ‘Compliance’ Dance

Yes, the approval requires ‘enhanced surveillance’ (read: more fees for middlemen). But let’s be real—this is about making crypto palatable for pension funds who still think a hardware wallet is a type of briefcase.

Bottom line: The dam is breaking. Again. Now watch the usual suspects rebrand their ‘risky speculation’ takes as ‘long-term infrastructure plays.’
