The Institutionalization of the Crypto Industry
summary
Panel claims the market is driven almost entirely by futures flows with negligible spot inflows, making price moves a leveraged retail liquidation game, and says approval of a Bitcoin spot ETF (decision likely by January 2024) is the single critical variable to restore market makers who left in April–May. Practical blockers include lack of legal basis in some jurisdictions, gaps in multi-account portfolio tech, and counterparty risk that new custody solutions and growing CBDC pilots (130 countries, G20 nearly complete) aim to address.
