I do not think that it will be appropriate to underestimate the powers of stock markets of USA kind of country. Bitcoin ETF will enable people to buy/hold/trade bitcoin like any other stocks with the same margin which meant for their usual stock related activities. So, there would be definite impact we could expect when we get bitcoin ETF hits live markets.
Nah... There are already planty of options to trade bitcoin. I'm not only crypto trader, I use exante for stock/bonds/funds/REITs. They allow me to buy foreign stocks from all around the world and guess what? They have 86 crypto to trade... I can already trade 86 crypto right from my stock trading account. Tell me more how BTC ETF will change my world and finally allow people to trade BTC XD Who wants to be exposed to bTC volatility ... have an option to do that. BTC ETF is just another one.
(Gold ETF should be considered here for good example, even gold is limited by 250k metric tons, we could buy/trade more than that with the help of ETF; similarly bitcoin ETF will help more than 21 million people to buy and hold more than 1 bitcoin each, theoretically).
Wrong. ETF is an asset backed 1:1 with real asset. So when you buy ETF, found is buying real btc to back it. That's the only way ETF price is pegged to real asset price. So it will not "help more than 21 million people to buy and hold more than 1 bitcoin each"
ETF its not the same as Derivatives.
It is funny how some people ignore the fact that price has been rising for about 3 weeks now and focus on the past couple of days that a meaningless news about a bitcoin ETF came out and think the rise is because of that
As it was pointed out earlier nobody cares about bitcoin ETFs, at least not anymore. Back in 2017 it was overhyped and market reacted to the news but it was also overused so it lost its glamour. So at this point, 4 years later and about 200 ETF rejections in US and a bunch of ETFs in other countries, people stopped giving a crap about whether or not US approves a bitcoin ETF or not.
Can't wait for 2025 bubble. BTC will dump from 600k to 300k because of "china ban crypto FUD, but this time for real" but pump right after to 1 mln $ thanks to new ETF rumours.
