The annual Exchange ETF Conference, hosted by major money management firms like State Street and BlackRock, recently showcased a significant shift in attitude towards cryptocurrency within traditional finance circles. Unlike previous years, where crypto may have been viewed with skepticism, this year saw digital assets taking centre stage, reflecting their growing mainstream acceptance. The event, attended by financial advisers worldwide, highlighted the evolution of the industry, particularly following the regulatory approval of 11 spot bitcoin ETFs. With notable figures like SEC Chairman Gary Gensler and BlackRock's Larry Fink supporting crypto, it's evident that the once-outsider status of cryptocurrency is rapidly fading, marking a new era where it holds a prominent place alongside traditional investment vehicles like ETFs.
