Several applications for a Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded-fund (ETF) have been sent to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for review and approval. With the introduction of Bitcoin ETFs, there’s a good chance that cryptocurrencies could be added to the mainstream investor’s portfolio. Institutional investors prefer to trade and hold regulated assets and crypto ETFs could encourage them to invest in digital assets.
This may increase the demand on the underlying crypto asset and drive the price up, and it is clear that with the CME Bitcoin futures making record highs in volume this month that demand for regulated bitcoin exposure is strong.
