The newly launched bitcoin ETFs are showing early signs of success, but they have so far fallen short of being the massive boost for crypto some bulls predicted. The funds began trading on Jan. 11 after receiving approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission, and ETFs from iShares ( IBIT ) and Fidelity Wise Origin ( FBTC ) have already raked in more than $1 billion of cash from investors in fewer than 10 trading days. Despite those quick milestones, reviews of the launches have been somewhat tepid. Citi analyst…
