After a decade since the submission of the first Bitcoin Spot ETF application in the U.S. last week no less than 11 Bitcoin Spot ETFs were approved by the SEC!
The approval of the ETF marks one of the most monumental moments in Bitcoin's history.
This news is absolutely massive - and while price has traced back a bit since the exuberant levels on launch day, I cannot understate how bullish I think this is for long term price appreciation.
Institutional and retail investors alike now have access to investable vehicles on US soil that gives direct exposure to Bitcoin. Bullish.
SEC Commissioners in Divided Opinion Despite Approval
Particularly comments made by the SEC chair himself tells me that had it not been for Grayscale winning in court over the SEC, it is likely the ETFs would not have been approved.

ETFs are Trading: What now?

There’s a number of traders who are currently calling for lower valuation levels of BTC. Personally, I like to take a contrarian view on where BTC is moving next, and I think once we start seeing that the ETFs are providing consistent inflows on a weekly basis we will march higher in price.
After all, the net inflows into the ETFs has already passed $1.4B in capital inflows after just three days of trading. My question to you is: What will that number be in 1-5-10-50 weeks?
