According to Blockworks, the market reached $8.6 billion in August 2024, with projections of growth to $45.6 billion by 2030. Companies like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have already invested $600 million in Bitcoin ETFs, viewing this as a portfolio diversification strategy.
Evolution of Corporate Treasury and New Financial Infrastructures
