Source: DojiDoji Data Terminal

Roundhill Generative AI ETF Outperforms Peers Through Concentrated Active Management

An investor in the Roundhill Generative AI & Technology ETF (CHAT) has seen a 1-year return of +111% and a year-to-date return of +8%. This performance is driven by a concentrated portfolio of 45 stocks, targeting companies that derive at least 50% of their revenues from AI-related activities. The fund is managed actively, allowing it to adjust exposure to leaders and laggards in real time without fixed rebalancing schedules. This strategy differs from the passive management styles of the Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF (AIQ) and the Invesco AI and Next Gen Software ETF (IGPT). The AI market, currently $371 billion, is expected to grow to $2.4 trillion by 2032. The fund's expense ratio is 0.75%.

This expansion of access is coupled with the launch of the MSBT Bitcoin ETF, which began trading on April 8. The fund carries an expense ratio of 0.14%, positioning it as one of the cheapest spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States.

BlackRock expands Ethereum staking validator pool to automate monthly investor rewards

Investors in the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHB) receive staking rewards distributed on a monthly basis without holding Ether directly.

Galaxy joins Figment and Attestant as approved validators for the fund's staked Ether. This infrastructure supports the fund, which held more than $435 million in assets as of April 8, including $339 million in staked Ether. The process begins with BlackRock naming Galaxy Digital as an approved validator for theB trust.

Eligibility for crypto investments now extends to multiple account types, including retirement accounts. To manage risk, the bank has implemented automated monitoring systems to prevent excessive crypto concentration in client portfolios.

The fund is actively managed and provides long Bitcoin exposure during overnight hours and allocates to short-term U.S. Treasuries and short-term U.S. Treasuries and cash equivalents during daytime trading. The fund does not invest directly in Bitcoin or any other digital assets and does not seek direct exposure to the spot price of Bitcoin.

Financial advisors can now offer Bitcoin exposure to a wider range of clients.

Institutional Profit-Taking Triggers $159 Million Bitcoin ETF Exodus

Total net assets for Bitcoin ETFs fell to $88.71 billion on April 7 as spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $159.10 million in net outflows. The exodus followed a price rally that pushed Bitcoin from $67,800 to $71,000, prompting institutional investors to sell holdings to realize gains. This session reversed the momentum of April 6, when the ETFs attracted $471.32 million in net inflows. Fidelity's FBTC led the retreat with $79 million in outflows, followed by Ark & 21Shares' ARKB at $74.7 million and Grayscale's GBTC at $11 million. BlackRock's IBIT remained an outlier with $40.4 million in inflows, while Morgan Stanley's MSBT debuted with $30.6 million in net inflows. The MSBT sponsor fee of 0.14% is the lowest among Bitcoin ETPs, undercutting the 0.15% fee of the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust and the 0.25% fee of the iShares Bitcoin Trust. CoinGlass data confirms the net outflow of -2,310 BTC.
