This is a green light," Wood said on CNBC. •On Wednesday, Bitcoin ETFs were finally approved in the US after a decade of trying. The Securities and Exchange Commission gave the green light on Wednesday to major filings from markets seeking to list leading products. •Cathay also confirmed that a bear case would see the price rise to $258,500 and a base case of $682,800. •Ark Invest is among the asset managers approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission to offer bitcoin ETFs, which began trading on Thursday. On Thursday, Bitcoin briefly surpassed $49,000 for the first time since December 2021. However, it has given up all of its previous gains and is now trading near $46,000. •Cathy is not the only one who expects a huge jump in Bitcoin prices. Standard Chartered Bank recently predicted that the price of Bitcoin could rise to levels closer to $200,000 by the end of 2025, comparing the Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) to the first gold-backed fund in the United States, which was launched in November 2004.

But this is a longer race than just one day's trading," said Todd Rosenbluth, strategist at VettaFi. •Some executives have described bitcoin as a high-risk investment, and Vanguard, the largest mutual fund provider, said it has no plans to make the new batch of spot bitcoin ETFs available on its platform to its brokerage clients. •The SEC had previously rejected all spot Bitcoin ETFs due to investor protection concerns. SEC Chairman Gary Gensler said in a statement on Wednesday that the approvals were not an endorsement of bitcoin, calling it a “speculative and volatile asset.” •The regulatory approval has sparked intense competition for market share among issuers, some of which have cut fees for their products to well below the U.S. ETF industry standard even before their launch on Thursday. •Fees on new Bitcoin ETFs range from 0.2% to 1.5%, with many companies also offering to waive fees entirely for a certain period or for a certain dollar volume of assets. After the ETFs began trading, Valkyrie reduced its fees for a second time to 0.25% and waived them for the first three months. •Estimates of the amount of spot Bitcoin ETFs vary widely. Analysts at Bernstein estimated flows would gradually build up to exceed $10 billion in 2024, while Standard Chartered analysts said this week that ETFs could attract between $50 billion and $100 billion this year alone. Other analysts said flows could reach $55 billion over five years. •As ETFs began trading on Thursday, market participants were closely monitoring the bid-ask spreads: the difference between the price at which a trader buys an ETF and the price at which it can be sold. ETFs with tighter spreads are typically viewed as more desirable. •Some analysts warned that the euphoria surrounding the approval may be premature. The broader investment community still views cryptocurrencies as risky, with scandals such as the collapse of cryptocurrency exchange FTX in 2022 adding to investor anxiety. •Speaking at a webinar on Thursday, Sharmin Mosaffar Rahmani, head of the investment strategy group and chief investment officer of Wealth Management at Goldman Sachs, said cryptocurrencies have no place in an investment portfolio. •However, some expect the products to pave the way for more innovative cryptocurrency ETFs, including Ethereum spot products. $BTC $ETH #stay tuned More news 💯🔥✅

•Bitcoin has lost 15% from its peak that followed the launch of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds last week, with outflows of $1.5 billion from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, a figure mentioned by a report from JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) in a report published yesterday, Thursday. .•Nicholas Panigirzoglou, lead analyst at JPMorgan, said: “GBTC investors who have been buying a GBTC fund over the past year at a significant discount to NAV to put into Bitcoin funds in their final form, appear to have captured the full profit after converting to the ETF via... Exiting the Bitcoin space entirely.” •Before it was listed in an exchange traded fund (ETF) from a trust, GBTC was one of the only ways for US stock traders to get exposure to Bitcoin price movements without having to buy the actual cryptocurrency. This made it the largest regulated Bitcoin fund in the world by AUM.•The bank had previously estimated that up to $3 billion was invested in GBTC in the secondary market during 2023 to exploit the fund's discount on net asset value. If this estimate is correct, and given $1.5 billion has already exited, there could be an additional $1.5 billion to exit the space via profit taking on GBTC, which will put further pressure on Bitcoin prices in the coming weeks. •These outflows are also pressuring GBTC to lower its fees, the report said, adding that “GBTC's 1.5% fee is still very high compared to other spot Bitcoin ETFs that risk more outflows.” •“More capital, perhaps an additional $5 billion to $10 billion, could exit GBTC if its liquidity advantage is lost,” JPMorgan warned. As of Friday, GBTC is the most expensive ETF among its peers, with some charging zero fees for the first six months or until a certain assets under management (AUM) target is reached. •JPMorgan says other spot bitcoin ETFs, excluding GBTC, attracted $3 billion in inflows in just four days, and this is similar to inflows seen during previous bitcoin product launches. •Most of these $3 billion inflows reflect rotation from existing Bitcoin instruments such as futures-based ETFs, the report added. $BTC #stay tuned More crypto news 💯✅🔥

•11 exchange-traded funds for spot Bitcoin trading (spot Bitcoin ETF) were recently able to obtain regulatory approval, sparking an intense struggle between asset management companies, as Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital, predicted. And one of the well-known figures in the crypto sector - there is intense competition between Invesco (NYSE:IVZ), BlackRock, and Fidelity for dominance in the market. •In his conversation with CNBC news channel, Novogratz confirmed that there is no unified formula in the sector of exchange-traded funds for digital currencies, explaining that the attempt to win the battle to control this emerging market depends on several factors, including the implementation mechanism, liquidity, and hidden fees, and does not depend only on reducing spending rates. . •Galaxy Digital, where Novogratz is CEO, partnered with Invesco to launch its own ETF, so Novogratz has direct experience in this area. •Novogratz continued, saying: “Granting regulatory approval for the establishment of 11 Bitcoin spot trading funds during this week led to the start of an intense competition between companies on Wall Street to attract the largest number of clients, with the possibility of two or three asset management companies winning this battle in the long term.” “; Novogratz also highlighted the intense struggle between companies to attract investors. •Invesco, BlackRock, and Fidelity are seeking to secure the largest share of the market. Although he refrained from providing a clear prediction about who will win in this competition, Novogratz believes that each of Invesco, BlackRock, and Fidelity summarizes the main competitors in the confrontation taking place in the crypto sector, as these giant entities prepare to To control a large share of this growing market. On the other hand, Novogratz stressed his firm belief that the price of Bitcoin will rise in the future, and he also expected its value to increase further, given the continuing decline in its issuance rate. •On the other hand, many long-term owners of Bitcoin (BTC) are reluctant to sell their holdings, which has led to a decrease in the number of currencies available for trading and an increase in the possibility of an increase in their price. •Novogratz's statements intersect with the opinion that the culture of owning Bitcoin differs from that of traditional assets, and the upcoming halving will further reduce the supply of Bitcoin, which will further increase its price. •However, Novogratz, who is well-versed in the crypto sector, stressed the importance of exercising caution, as he pointed out that the rise in the price of Bitcoin may make it a safe haven for investors from the turmoil witnessed in the global economy, but its rise comes - partly - as a reaction to governments pumping large amounts of money into... Their economies and the rise in government debt in general. •Novogratz also pointed out that the current direction of governments may indicate widespread economic challenges that the world is preparing to face soon. •SEC Member Expresses Concerns Regarding Bitcoin ETFs Despite SEC member Mark Uyeda's vote to approve the creation of Bitcoin ETFs, he has publicly expressed reservations about how the SEC decided to make the decision. . •Committee member Ueda played an important role in completing the approval process, and he did not hide his support for the requests to create a Bitcoin ETF, but he made clear his concerns about the analytical methodology adopted by the SEC to reach its final decision. •“The SEC’s flawed logic in making the decision to approve the creation of a spot Bitcoin ETF may have repercussions that will last for years to come,” Ueda expressed his opinion, adding that his concerns stem from, in his opinion, the SEC missing the opportunity to treat Bitcoin similarly to other commodities. . •Diving into the details of his criticism, Ueda pointed out that the SEC has long treated Bitcoin ETFs in a distinctive way by evaluating them based on the “importance of their size” in an unprecedented manner, a standard that - in his opinion - these funds should have passed long ago. •Ueda explained that the SEC's treatment of the aforementioned funds is in stark contrast to how it views exchange-traded products in the form of Bitcoin futures ETPs according to the same test. $BTC $ETH #stay tuned More news and details ✅

•Ethereum (Ethereum-ETH) price expectations remain bullish as its price stabilizes above the $2,500 level despite increasing uncertainty about the market's near-term future. The price of ETH rose to its highest levels since May 2022 last week to trade above the $2,700 level. . •This rise was supported by a wave of optimism due to the approval of the establishment of Bitcoin spot ETFs in the United States, along with optimism resulting from expectations that similar funds for Ethereum spot trading will see the light by May of this year. However, the market quickly gave up its gains due to investors' reaction of "buy when the rumors spread, sell when the facts emerge." •Since then, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) has fallen from two-year highs of $49,000 to its current levels near $42,000 as a result of a wave of profit-taking. At the same time, Ethereum was trading around the $2,520 level, down about 7% from its highest levels last week. •Traders' anxiety has increased as a result of increased profit-taking, which could continue to pressure prices in the near term, but the Ethereum price has so far managed to consolidate above an important support level, which may indicate its strength in the near term. •Is ETH price holding above a major support level a sign of its strength? •The price range between 2,400 and 2,450 constitutes a major support area for the Ethereum price.
