Bullish
If dem list Bitwise and VanEck ETPs for ING Germany retail platform, e go open direct retail access to BTC and ETH through regulated, exchange-traded wrappers. More distribution and less friction (dem dey waive fees for big orders) fit boost retail inflows and secondary-market liquidity, wey fit support price demand. For history, when spot-like ETPs and ETF launches show, e dey usually come with extra inflows to the underlying assets. Short-term, the impact fit small because market don dey see recent outflows and macro uncertainty; inflows fit slow. Medium to long-term, steady retail distribution through major banks and exchanges dey supportive (bullish) for BTC and ETH as e reduce barriers to entry and widen the investor base. Risks wey fit reduce the bullish effect include continued macro weakness, regulatory shocks, or big institutional redemptions wey drive net outflows.
