Bitcoin’s Future Looks Promising with Potential Spot ETF Approvals

CryptoQuant, a well-known data analytics firm, has emphasized that the cryptocurrency market could potentially grow into a $900 billion asset if the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approves spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The firm has also projected that the overall crypto market could experience a remarkable surge of $1 trillion. This report was published on Wednesday.

The analysis is predicated on the expectation that significant U.S. financial institutions, which have already submitted applications for spot Bitcoin ETFs, may receive approvals by March 2024. Should these institutions invest just 1% of their assets under management (AUM) into Bitcoin ETFs, it could lead to around $155 billion entering the Bitcoin market, possibly driving the cryptocurrency’s price to between $50,000 and $73,000.

Historical data indicates that during past bull markets, Bitcoin’s market capitalization has expanded three to five times more than its realized capitalization, suggesting a considerable growth potential for the leading cryptocurrency.

Initially, institutions began incorporating Bitcoin into their balance sheets, and the next phase may involve financial institutions providing Bitcoin access through spot ETFs. It is worth noting that GBTC, operated by the Digital Currency Group, currently holds the title of the world’s largest cryptocurrency fund.
