Wall Street is getting ready to introduce a new wave of speculative exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in response to a crypto-friendly administration returning to the White House.
Financial executives are preparing to meet the growing demand from both institutional investors and retail traders, as cryptocurrency-linked ETFs, particularly those tracking Bitcoin, have attracted billions in investments since the election.
Industry insiders are now developing a range of products, including conservative ETFs for professional money managers and high-risk options for more adventurous investors, often referred to as "degens." This reflects a broader trend in the financial markets as traditional firms adapt to the changing landscape of digital assets.
