Spot Bitcoin ETF Approval Could Create Trillions Of Dollars In Value

Key Points:

Tether advisor Gabor Gurbacs predicts trillions in value for a spot Bitcoin ETF approval, drawing parallels with gold’s historic surge.
Gurbacs expects a gradual, impactful shift in Bitcoin’s market with a $10 billion influx, citing its low float and halving schedules as key factors.

In a recent statement, Tether advisor Gabor Gurbacs outlined the transformative potential of a US Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), suggesting it could catalyze trillions of dollars in value for the cryptocurrency.

Tether Advisor Forecasts ETF-Driven Surge

Drawing parallels to the SPDR Gold ETF launch in 2004, which saw gold’s market value surge from $2 trillion to $10 trillion over eight years, Gurbacs envisions a similar trajectory for spot Bitcoin ETF approval.

Gurbacs highlights the current market value of Bitcoin at approximately $750 billion, underscoring its substantial room for growth compared to gold’s 2004 valuation. Emphasizing the gradual nature of adoption, he anticipates a gradual influx of funds, totaling a few $10 billion, driven by the unique dynamics of Bitcoin’s relatively low float and the impact of halving schedules.

Moreover, Gurbacs predicts that the spot Bitcoin ETF approval will not only legitimize Bitcoin but also destigmatize its role in investment portfolios, fostering broader adoption beyond the ETF space. He envisions nation-states and sovereign wealth funds directly holding Bitcoin, securing optionality for mining and developing Bitcoin-based capital markets.

Bitcoin Reaches 20-Month High Amid Spot Bitcoin ETF Approval Optimism

As Bitcoin surged to a 20-month high, briefly surpassing $44,000, the momentum was fueled by expectations of a U.S. interest rate cut and the anticipation of regulatory approval for spot Bitcoin ETFs. While the SEC might still decide on crypto ETFs, industry experts project their launch early next year.
