Crypto ETF Boom Faces Liquidity Stress Test
The SEC's streamlined approval process has triggered a gold rush in crypto ETFs, with Bitwise predicting over 100 launches by 2026. This explosive growth comes with hidden risks - Coinbase's dominance as custodian for 85% of Bitcoin ETFs creates a precarious concentration risk.
Market makers face operational challenges with limited hedging options for altcoins. The SEC's recent in-kind creation rule exacerbates liquidity concerns, potentially turning this growth spurt into a Darwinian selection event for crypto products.
