'The Great Accumulation Of Bitcoin': ETF Filings Signal New Era For Crypto Investment, Say Experts

With the race to secure Bitcoin BTC/USD heating up before the introduction of exchange traded funds for the cryptocurrency, industry experts are witnessing a significant shift in Bitcoin accumulation patterns.

Cameron Winklevoss, the co-founder of the cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, said the "great accumulation of Bitcoin" has begun for both retail and institutional investors.

"Anyone watching the flurry of ETF filings understands the window to purchase pre-IPO bitcoin before ETFs go live and open the floodgates is closing fast. If Bitcoin was the most obvious and best investment of the previous decade, this will likely be the most obvious and best trade of this decade," he said.

The anticipation of Bitcoin ETFs comes in the wake of numerous filings by prominent asset management firms. WisdomTree, a leading provider of ETFs, filed an application this week for the launch of the WisdomTree Bitcoin Trust.
