It seems that the long wait for the spot Bitcoin ETF could be ending in four to six months from now onwards. In the recent earnings call, Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz cited some insider “contacts” who told him that the approval on BlackRock and Invesco spot Bitcoin ETF is a matter of “when, not if”.
He further added that the approval of the first spot Bitcoin ETF would not take more than four to six months from now. Ever since BlackRock filed for the spot Bitcoin ETF in mid-June, there’s renewed optimism in the market. Expectations have also soared high with other financial giants joining the bandwagon.
Ahead of this week on August 13, the US SEC will announce its opinion on Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest spot Bitcoin ETF application. Market analysts believe that the SEC is likely to further delay its verdict on the same.
Cathie Wood also stated that the US SEC could be approving all spot BTC ETF applications at once. “The August 13 (deadline) will come and go. I think the SEC, if it is going to approve a Bitcoin ETF, will approve more than one at once. Most of these (ETF filings), essentially will be the same, and it will come down to marketing, and communicating the message,” she said.
During Tuesday’s trading hours, the Bitcoin (BTC) price soared past $30,000 despite the slump in the US equity market. On-chain data provider Santiment explains that Bitcoin price has rebounded to $30.3K even as #stocks decline and the #dollar strengthens. Keep an eye on the significant profit-taking occurring, now at its highest point in over 3 weeks. Average $BTC addresses in the past year have increased by more than +20%.
However, BTC has struggled to hold above the $30,000 level. As of press time, Bitcoin is trading 1.91% up at a price of $29, 748 and a market cap of $578 billion. As said, Bitcoin is facing some selling pressure in the ~$29900-$30100 zone. Thus, it needs to give a weekly close above $29,250 to confirm a bullish momentum upwards.
