Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas discussed the current status of Spot Bitcoin ETF applications and the potential impact on the markets if an ETF is approved in a recent YouTube interview. Balchunas suggested that if BlackRock’s Spot Bitcoin ETF application is approved by the SEC, a potential capital inflow of $150 billion could enter the cryptocurrency market in the next few years.
Will Spot Bitcoin ETF Applications Get Approval from the SEC?
BlackRock’s Spot Bitcoin ETF application has had a significant impact on the markets. Prior to BlackRock’s ETF application, there was not much expectation that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) would give the green light to Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the near future.
However, BlackRock’s ETF application has changed the expectations in the markets. Grayscale’s victory in the SEC case has strengthened the belief that the SEC could approve Spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Bloomberg ETF analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart have recently updated their predictions regarding the approval of Spot Bitcoin ETF applications by the SEC. The Bloomberg analysts have increased their previous prediction of 25% to 75%. Furthermore, Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas also evaluated the potential impact of a possible ETF approval on the markets.
Potential Effects of an ETF Approval on the Markets
Recent developments continue to strengthen the expectations that ETF applications could be approved by the SEC, and many analysts have suggested that an ETF approval could have a significant impact on the markets. Analysts have highlighted the possibility of an increase in institutional demand after the ETF approval, and the start of a new rally in the cryptocurrency market.
In a recent YouTube interview analyzing the current status of ETF applications, Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas suggested that if BlackRock’s Spot Bitcoin ETF is approved, a potential capital inflow of over $150 billion could enter the cryptocurrency market in the next few years.
