Review of Nathan Yu's Perspective: Opening the Cash Out Door for Whales

In November 2023, researcher Nathan Yu analyzed:

"At the initial establishment of spot ETFs, new funds will indeed flow into Bitcoin. However, if spot ETFs allow for physical redemption, it will also provide whales with another channel to cash out by redeeming spot ETFs and then selling ETFs in the stock market. This will actually awaken dormant Bitcoin whales and lead them to exit through ETFs.

In other words, at the initial establishment of spot ETFs, funds will flow in, but it will also cause whales to sell off."
