The Impact of a Bitcoin ETF on the Crypto Market
Eric Balchunas, an ETF analyst at Bloomberg, recently speculated that the approval of a Bitcoin spot ETF by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission could unlock up to $30 trillion worth of capital for the Bitcoin market.
He believes that financial advisors in the U.S., who have an estimated $30 trillion in assets under management, would be willing to invest in Bitcoin through a regulated exchange-traded fund. Balchunas explained in an exclusive Cointelegraph interview that “ETF is the format in which the boomers and the financial advisors prefer their investments delivered in”.
The recent Blackrock application for a Bitcoin spot ETF has sparked a new wave of optimism in the crypto market, prompting other major firms such as ARK Investment, Valkyrie, and Fidelity to file their own applications for a Bitcoin ETF.

“They’re very smart and they don’t just throw filings out willy nilly”, said Balchunas. “They clearly see something out there that they think they can get through the regulators”, he added.
