Fineqia International's Matteo Greco on crypto ETP outlook: what will drive recovery?

Fineqia International Inc (CSE:FNQ) senior associate Matteo Greco joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss the latest trends in the crypto ETP market and what could reignite investor demand in the second half of 2026. Greco said the fall in crypto ETP AUM has been driven primarily by weaker prices rather than widespread investor withdrawals, with Bitcoin ETP assets largely tracking BTC's price decline — suggesting most investors have held their positions despite a difficult market. Ethereum ETPs have fared worse, with persistent outflows as investors reduced risk and concentrated exposure on Bitcoin during the downturn. Regional differences also emerged, with stronger outflows in the US while Europe and Canada recorded more positive flows. On altcoin and basket ETPs, Greco noted brief outperformance during Q2, though the broader negative trend has continued to weigh on overall AUM through 2026. Looking ahead, Greco said recovery hinges on prices. "The only thing that can drive demand higher again is to see a bit of price recovery," he said, adding that limited outflows during the downturn show many investors remain committed to long-term exposure and could return quickly once sentiment improves.
