In the flight to safe haven assets as U.S. tariffs took hold, digital assets proved a notable beneficiary. For investors turning to opportunities in crypto as U.S. outlooks deteriorate, CoinShares offers two different ETF approaches to the bitcoin ecosystem.
Ongoing tariff volatility, ratcheting tensions between the U.S. and China, and dollar deterioration concerns weigh heavily on April markets. As investors de-risked their portfolios, crypto proved a notable beneficiary amid market chaos. Advisors and investors flooded into crypto assets the week ending April 25, 2025, reported CoinShares. In total, $3.4 billion flowed into digital asset strategies, the third largest weekly inflow on record.
“We believe concerns over the tariff impact on corporate earnings and the dramatic weakening of the US dollar are the reasons investors have turned towards digital assets, which are being seen as an emerging safe haven,” explained James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares in an insight piece.
Invest in Crypto & the Bitcoin Ecosystem With CoinShares
Of the massive inflows last week, bitcoin drew in the vast majority of investor money, at $3.18 billion. For investors wanting to target bitcoin and the bitcoin ecosystem specifically, CoinShares offers two ETFs.
The CoinShares Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund (BRRR ) provides exposure to bitcoin’s price movements with the ease of access through traditional brokerages. Through BRRR, investors can capture bitcoin price movements while avoiding many of the extra steps required with direct bitcoin investment, such as storage.
BRRR seeks to reflect the price performance of the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate – New York Variant, minus fees and expenses. This index uses the same six bitcoin exchanges as the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate, but calculates bitcoin’s price at New York Market close (4 p.m. ET). The fund carries a management fee of 0.25%.
The actively managed CoinShares Valkyrie Bitcoin Miners ETF (WGMI ) provides pure-play exposure to bitcoin miners in North America. The fynd invests in companies that earn at least half their profits or revenue from bitcoin mining. It also invests in companies providing hardware, software, or services to bitcoin mining companies. Additionally, the strategy seeks companies that manufacture specialized chips used in bitcoin mining.
WGMI is managed by a team of industry experts on cryptocurrencies as well as the finance sector. The strategy uses this expertise when seeking bitcoin mining companies and those in related industries. Investors are able to harness the fund manager’s knowledge of the technical, operational, and commercial workings of the bitcoin mining industry when investing in the fund. WGMI has a management fee of 0.75%.
