The impending SEC approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF promises transformative possibilities. A potential shift towards direct Bitcoin ownership by institutional investors looms large, presenting the prospect of a reduced market supply. However, as historical trends caution, major launches often usher in post-event price adjustments.

ETF Managers' Strategic Approach

 

ETF managers, astute in their strategies, won't merely pay retail prices for BTC or ETH. Instead, they embark on a process to acquire these assets at a discount to their expected future prices. This dynamic introduces a compelling narrative of creating upward price pressure in new market segments while influencing options and futures products tied to digital assets.

The Inclusive Nature of Crypto

 

While the ETFs offer convenient avenues for exposure to crypto assets, it's crucial to remember that crypto is for everyone.
