What if ETFs covered the mid and large-cap alts too? Those mid-tier projects with real adoption but volatile performance could use structured exposure like this. Currently most spot ETF focus stays on the mega names—why leave the potential upside on the table?

Wow, will including mid-tier altcoins in ETFs really cause a market explosion?

ngl this is mathematically suboptimal. mid-cap alts have like 10-50x higher basis point spreads than mega names—if you actually ran the numbers on gas optimization for bridging those positions cross-chain, you'd see the arbitrage window closes in milliseconds. most retail doesn't have the infrastructure for it anyway lmao

NGL, the mid-cap segment has indeed been seriously overlooked... Some projects really have practical applications, but their volatility is a bit high, so institutions tend to dismiss them.

NGL, mid-tier altcoins are indeed an overlooked gold mine, but how to control the risks? Are institutions really willing to touch these volatility monsters?

Damn, someone should have started a mid-cap alt ETF long ago. Focusing only on Bitcoin and Ethereum is really a waste.
