The Bitcoin price dropped 0.23% in the last 24 hours to trade at $43,898 as of 5 AM EST with trading volume surging almost 52% to $24.12 billion.<\/p>\n

With all eyes on the possible imminent approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds), a Coinshares executive said the investment vehicles will not be a “sell the new event” for BTC.<\/p>\n

Instead, an ETF approval is expected to open up the asset to many more wealthy individuals who previously did not have access to Bitcoin in a way they were comfortable with, he said.<\/p>\n

With that being the case, analysts expect Bitcoin to see more inflows that will boost its value.<\/p>\n

Analysts remain upbeat on the likelihood of approvals for spot BTC ETFs this week and Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas saying there’s now only about a 5% chance of rejection.<\/p>\n

Well said although I probably go with 5% at this point. But you gotta leave a little window open for these things.<\/p>\n
