CryptoQuant Bitcoin Analysis Sees ETF Options Impacting Bitcoin Demand

Key points:

  • Analysts say the SEC’s approval of options for the spot bitcoin ETF marks a significant shift in how institutional investors may engage with bitcoin, with potential implications for demand for the underlying asset.
  • The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved BlackRock’s proposal to list and trade options for its spot bitcoin ETF last Friday.
The recent approval for BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF options raises concerns about a shift from physical Bitcoin to “paper” derivatives, according to CryptoQuant Bitcoin analysis.

But CryptoQuant analysts caution that the effect this will have is increasing love for paper Bitcoin by institutional traders, decreasing direct investment into spot Bitcoin, and increasing open interest in derivatives.
