I feel funny if anyone think Bitcoin Spot ETFs are very important for Bitcoin to break through $40,000 and reclaim $69,000. Next 6 months, we will have a Bitcoin halving and price will surely be higher than $40,000 that is even higher than today price. A halving is enough for Bitcoin to have a higher price, Bitcoin Spot ETF news is only a catalyst to make this market more unpredictable and chaotic for Newbies.
I believe this will only favour more the big investors that are preparing to enter the market on the approval of the Bitcoin ETF. Small investors and newbies who are accumulating gradually before the upcoming bull run will be saddened to see a massive increase in price following the approval even when halving has not taking place. Many people know the advantage and disadvantage of the Bitcoin ETF. The Pros is that; it will make the price of bitcoin shoot up to an unimaginable price even before the time for a new all time high is anticipated to take place and the Cons; it makes the market more unpredictable and making it for smaller investors not hitting their target before a big rise in price of bitcoin.
You're absolutely right by saying Bitcoin has been doing so well without any Bitcoin Spot ETF, Bitcoin has attained unimaginable heights without any Bitcoin Spot ETF, but if a Bitcoin Spot ETF was as unnecessary as you claim then applications wouldn't be filing even after previously being rejected and we wouldn't currently have over 12 application filed on SEC's table right now. Have you ever imagined the future of Bitcoin if the Spot ETF is ever approved? Bitcoin has been doing good without a Spot ETF but with it, I believe it would do even better, coupled with the Bitcoin halving, Bitcoin would exceed it's ATH before we know it, so I strongly believe a Bitcoin Spot ETF approval would be an amazing stepping stone to achieving greater things in the Bitcoin world in the smallest unit of time.
Many of the companies or people that are interested in the Bitcoin ETF approval just want to have someone they can rely on with their investment. The market is full of volatility and predictions are always hard to determine. With the approval of this, we will have more people investing in bitcoin through this means but will only do it on the basis that their funds are safe with the companies and will get their own share of it in the long run. Asides this, I don’t see any tangible reason why they really want the Bitcoin ETF to be approved by SEC and this will definitely have substantial effect on the price of bitcoin when approved because of the number of investors that will be coming into the market hearing of this approval. Bitcoin ETF approval will make the market more unpredictable and will make it attain some certain milestones that are not expected to happen soon.
