Several companies, including Invesco and Valkyrie, have filed applications for similar ETFs, which are likely to make their appearance on the market in the coming weeks.
It should be remembered that the cryptocurrency market saw its value soar from 16 billion dollars in 2016 to 2.3 trillion dollars in 2021.
