Thought I’d share our thinking.
A thread...
Bitwise is bullish on a spot ETF approval since it is designed to track Bitcoin directly. Hougan states,
Ultimately, what many investors want is a spot Bitcoin ETF. We think that's possible. So Bitwise will continue to pursue that goal, and we will look for other ways to help investors get access to the incredible opportunities in crypto.
Chris Harmse, Managing Director of BVNK, recognizes that institutional investors have an appetite for regulated financial services in crypto.
There is a huge appetite out there among many audiences for regulated financial services rooted in the world of cryptocurrencies. For us, we're focused on delivering these to fast-growth businesses and financial service providers.
The Securities and Exchange Commission's decision is less than 100 hours away, and rejection or acceptance is likely to have an impact on BTC price. The asset recovered from a drop below $65,000 and resumed its price rally.
FXStreet analysts have evaluated the BTC price trend and noted that the asset presents the most bullish setup.
