Many clients of asset management firm Gerber Kawasaki have expressed interest in a new physical Bitcoin ETF, according to investment advisor Brett. Sippling.

“A lot of people are interested,” Sifling told The Block. “If they’re comfortable with risk profiles, I think it’s just another tool in their toolbox when it comes to portfolio management.”

Spot Bitcoin ETFs have generated about $40 billion in cumulative trading volume since they began trading last month, with products offered by BlackRock and Fidelity leading the way in terms of capital inflows. According to CoinShares:. Grayscale’s convertible fund had the highest total volume, but investors participated in a significant portion of the transactions. realization.

Gerber Kawasaki, which manages over $2.3 billion in assets, recently made a small investment in BlackRock’s IBIT Spot Bitcoin ETF. AdvisorShares ETFs, according to Sifling, are managed separately. Gerber Kawasaki bought 1,000 shares of BlackRock’s IBIT Spot Bitcoin ​​ETF, worth about $28,000 as of Tuesday. According to Blackrock.

Ross Gerber, the company’s co-founder, said in an email that he had decided to buy the stock. BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF is said to have “more liquidity” and charges a 0.25% fee. black stone It charges one of the lowest expense ratios among all competing spot Bitcoin ETFs.

Continuous approval process

On the client side, investing more client capital in the new spot Bitcoin ETF is still somewhat dependent on obtaining the necessary approvals, Sifling said.

“For a custodian like the one we use with LPL Financial or (Charles) Schwab, any time a new ETF comes to market, it typically has to go through an approval process,” Sifling said. “As far as LPL is concerned, LPL is one of our primary custodians. They are also continuing the process of actually approving all of these things based on the rules they provide. Some are time-based, some are asset-based. .”

Franklin Templeton, whose core business includes partnerships with financial advisors and asset platforms, has launched its own spot Bitcoin ​​ETF. It rang recently. Sifling’s thoughts on due diligence.

“There are new products that didn’t exist before. These platforms are taking on the fiduciary responsibility of filtering those providers and finding differentiation to help customers get the best long-term outcomes. That’s an ongoing process. Right now.” Franklin Templeton Roger Bayston, head of digital assets, told The Block.

How the issuer holds its Bitcoin is important.

Sifling also said that security will be an important factor to consider when deciding which spot Bitcoin ETF to buy. He said he wanted to better understand how safely issuers are holding the bitcoin they purchase.

“There will probably be a difference in security,” he said. “We’ve all heard the saying, ‘It’s not your keys or your cryptocurrency.’ So one of the things I’m interested in is seeing how ETF companies are going to secure (Bitcoin). There’s still a lot about that. Research is ongoing.”

As of last week, 9 new spot Bitcoin ​ETFs, excluding Grayscale’s convertible fund; purchased More than 200,000 BTC

+5.75%
.

Sifling said from what he’s learned, after new capital flows into the ETF and buys Bitcoin, the settlement process appears to be “very complicated.”

“I spoke to several wholesalers who run ETF programs,” he said. “(But) the security process is obviously a lot harder to get people out of it, because the more you talk to the public about security, the easier it is to be exploited.”
