Reports swirled that the SEC was giving final comments to issuers and may approve multiple spot-based bitcoin ETF applications very soon.
Bitcoin cratered almost 10% below $41,000 early Wednesday around the time Matrixport’s report about warning of a spot BTC ETF decline, but it was more likely due to a leverage flush as the market overheated, a K33 analyst said in an interview.
Bitcoin slid 8% from a 20-month high on Wednesday as jitters around the anticipated approval of a spot BTC ETF began to enter the market.
The decline happened as bitcoin spiked above $45,000 during the day as traders anticipate an imminent spot BTC ETF decision in the U.S.
Bitcoin slipped below $42,000 on Friday, stalling below its yearly high.
Expectations that U.S. regulators will approve spot bitcoin ETFs next year are driving prices higher. History suggests we might see a slowdown as we approach the halving in April 2024, says Path Crypto’s David Liang.
With TradFi moving in, the crypto industry is finally taking its place as the future of finance, says Kelly Ye, at Decentral Park Capital.
Investors moved the highest amount of BTC to exchanges since March, IntoTheBlock noted, signaling profit-taking after bitcoin’s first eight-week streak of gains since 2017.
Crypto derivatives show bullish positioning but are not over-extended by historical norms. That’s good news for the whole crypto market.
