He also mentioned four reasons why crypto investors would want to limit what they are expecting from the recently approved investment vehicles.

　　He noted that he saw an estimation saying the ETFs could see $25 billion inflows but he thinks the case is otherwise. In his opinion, Balchunas said that the funds would be lucky to get $500 million in inflows.
