EXCLUSIVE: Which Bitcoin ETF Is Preferred By Benzinga Users?

Basically: Benzinga recently polled our followers on X, formerly known as Twitter, to see which ETFs might be investors' favorites.

The Results: While there are more than four Bitcoin ETFs, the poll was limited to the possible answers below. Here are the results:

iShares Bitcoin Trust: 44.3%
Grayscale Bitcoin Trust: 33.9%
ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF: 13%
Bitwise Bitcoin ETF: 8.7%

Winner, Winner: The iShares Bitcoin Trust from BlackRock Inc. won the poll with 44.3% of the vote. The ETF is the largest of the new Bitcoin ETFs, trailing only the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (which had a head start) for assets under management.

Runner Up: The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust came in second place. This could show the strong brand recognition of the existing fund and association with the cryptocurrency, given potential higher fees for investors.
