Key facts
- IBIT's cumulative inflows surpassed $60.2 billion, and Farside Investors' data show that outflows from other funds, such as Grayscale's GBTC, pulled the industry-wide net figure to about $51.4
- Citi cut its 12-month Bitcoin price target to $82,000 from $112,000 this month, cut its Ethereum target to $2,240 from $3,175, and lowered its own 12-month spot Bitcoin ETF inflow assumption to zero
- Citi's June 2026 “ Tokenization 2030 ” report projects that tokenized assets could expand from about $17 billion today to $5.5 trillion by 2030 in its base case, with a range from $2.7 trillion
- At 0.01% of Vanguard's $12 trillion in assets, the incremental flow is near $1.2 billion, a figure large enough to make disclosure, access controls, and guardrails central to any rollout
Summary
01 Vanguard posted a Head of Digital Assets role to build strategy and a multi-year roadmap across its wealth business. 02 The hire signals a shift from rejecting spot Bitcoin ETFs to planning how digital assets fit a $12 trillion platform. 03 But Vanguard still avoids its own crypto products, leaving custody, settlement, and compliance standards unresolved. The posting asks the incoming executive to lead digital assets strategy, build a multi-year roadmap, and run enterprise execution across Vanguard's wealth business.
