Starting Tuesday, December 2, Vanguard will allow exchange-traded funds and mutual funds tracking Bitcoin and \u201cselect other cryptos\u201d to begin trading on its platform, reported ETF expert Eric Balchunas.<\/p>\n
The move, which will also allow trading of Ether, XRP, and Solana ETFs, is a major shift in stance for the asset manager, which has, up until now, avoided crypto assets.<\/p>\n

The inflow was a minor $370,000, primarily from the Fidelity fund, which saw $67 million in inflows, and ARK 21Shares with $7.4 million, while BlackRock\u2019s IBIT outflowed $74 million.<\/p>\n Spot ETF flows have stabilized recently, indicating institutional investor resilience, while retail traders have panicked<\/a> again.<\/p>\n In related news, Grayscale is set to launch the first spot Chainlink ETF on Tuesday.
