Bitcoin ETF Confusion Abounds

The crypto industry can breathe a sigh of relief: It looks like a federal U.S. regulator will let the world’s largest traditional finance asset managers and other firms list and trade shares of a vehicle giving retail and institutional investors exposure to the price of a decentralized, trustless, stateless digital asset (if you’re in the U.S.). But of course, the bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) drama wouldn’t be complete without, well, drama. Source

Spotlight on Potential $100 Billion Influx and Bitcoin ETF Approval Amid Governance Debates

GITHUB REJECTION! While crypto traders, tradfi investors, financial institutions and probably lots of normies and newbies were engaging in the gripping speculation over whether U.S. regulators would approve a spot bitcoin ETF, a struggle over the very soul of the Bitcoin blockchain was taking place on the open-source developer platform GitHub.

Once people realize that, we might see a slow uptick in demand and price action for bitcoin, but not a flood of all-time-high milestones. Gold, if you check, didn’t suddenly become a mainstream investment; it took years. And, it’s likely to be the same with bitcoin. Still, the hype around the ETF announcement shows how many people out there want a positive narrative to move bitcoin higher. That, rather than the actual impact of ETFs, may be…
