Swyftx mentioned

that it had been a "fairly subdued launch even so VanEck gained't be too fearful. Their [lower] charges ought to appeal to a gradual price of inflows over the following quarter.

"This was the to the last-place degree bit multiplication going to be a little bit of a non-event after all of the hype round ProShares' $1.1bn launch and continues the development we detected with Valkyrie's ETF."

Valkyrie's Bitcoin futures ETF in addition had a comparatively lackluster launch with BTF descending 3% in worth inside the first hour of buying and marketing on Oct. 22 on Nasdaq, regardless of its $78 million in buying and marketing amount.
