ETF approval could send Bitcoin to $60,000 near term

Nigel Green,hycm Industrial Bank foreign exchange official website a long-term cryptocurrency advocate and CEO of the deVere Group, sees the landmark SEC approval of 11 spot ETFs on Wednesday sending the cryptocurrency higher - perhaps to $60,000 as soon as the end of March 2024.

"This approval by the financial regulator of the world’s largest economy is a landmark moment for Bitcoin and the wider crypto market and boosts prices in the long-term, even if there’s a sell-off in the near-term," Green stated.

Green cited five reasons for his near-term bullishness:

First, he cited institutional validation. "The approval of Bitcoin ETFs represents a resounding institutional validation of the cryptocurrency, marking a departure from its initial reputation as a speculative and volatile asset," he commented.

Second, is the likely influx of capital. "One of the primary catalysts for the anticipated surge in Bitcoin prices is the massive influx of capital that is expected to follow the approval of ETFs," Green noted.

Third, is accessibility and liquidity. "Bitcoin ETFs help democratize access to the cryptocurrency market, allowing a broader range of investors to participate," he said.

Fourth, he cited market integration and regulatory clarity. “As regulatory uncertainties dissipate, more and more institutional and individual investors can confidently engage with the crypto market, further reinforcing the legitimacy of Bitcoin," Green stated.

And Fifth, Green cited increased global adoption. "As more countries embrace the idea of regulated Bitcoin ETFs, the cryptocurrency will likely gain further acceptance on the international stage, attracting a broader investor base and propelling prices to potentially new heights," Green added.

"On a tidal wave of investor enthusiasm, we wouldn't be surprised if Bitcoin hits $60,000 this quarter – and higher moving forward throughout the year," he concludes.
