On-chain analysts say Vanguard’s decision to give clients access to spot BTC, Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL) and XRP exchange-traded funds is creating a structural shift that will reshape long-term crypto demand.
Glassnode’s co-founders, who post on X under the joint handle Negentropic, say Vanguard’s embrace of crypto is more significant than BlackRock’s landmark entry in early 2024.
[adinserter block="1"]They say Vanguard controls the deepest and most persistent pool of passive retirement capital in the country.
The firm leads IRAs, 401(k)s, index mutual funds, direct-to-consumer investing and passive long-term savings across the middle class.
In their view, the impact is structural, with Vanguard’s shift essentially triggering automatic accumulation regardless of short-term price moves.
“Vanguard embracing BTC and ETH is bigger than BlackRock doing it earlier because Vanguard controls the deepest pool of passive retirement capital.
This isn’t speculative money: it’s automatic 401(k) contributions, target-date flows, and decade-long rebalancing. Once BTC enters those default allocations, the buy pressure becomes structural, price-insensitive, and relentless.”
Bitcoin is trading at $92,239 at time of writing, down 0.81% in the last 24 hours.
