GTS executive: Spot Bitcoin ETF trading premium will be as high as 8%

Reggie Browne, the ETF trading director at market maker GTS, stated that the trading price of a physical Bitcoin ETF would have a significant premium over its net asset value. Browne stated that if a fund is approved, its trading price could have an 8% premium over the underlying asset value. In contrast, the average premium for holding Bitcoin futures in BITO over the past year was 0.02%. "The width of the spread is not a concern, I think the problem will be the premium over the net asset value," Browne said. "This will be a crazy number."

Browne also stated that if approved, he expects investors to inject at least $2 billion into physical Bitcoin ETF trading within the first 30 days. For the whole year, he expects the size of these funds to reach $10 billion to $20 billion. He said, "Although we are celebrating today, I think all the details will be announced tomorrow morning."
