First spot Bitcoin ETFs show moderate gains but lag behind direct Bitcoin investment returns.
Since the launch of the first spot Bitcoin ETFs, such as Canada's Purpose Bitcoin ETF in 2021 and multiple U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs in 2024, investors have seen moderate gains. A $1,000 investment in the Canadian ETF would have grown by about 14.34%, while direct Bitcoin investment rose 22.47% over the same period. Similarly, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF conversion in 2024 yielded a 22.43% gain, still trailing Bitcoin's 36.22% increase. The approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs has shifted institutional attitudes positively, but debate continues on their impact on Bitcoin's price trends and market cycles.
