Economic Times

The price of Bitcoin dropped to around $42,000, down almost 10%, as spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) began trading in the US. Bitcoin had reached a high of $46,000 last week and surged to a two-year high of $49,000. However, the recent dynamics have not met the expectations set by Bitcoin maximalists, and the market's ability to sustain upward momentum is in question. The approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US is seen as a sign of a maturing market and regulatory support.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has once again delayed its decision on BlackRock's application for the iShares Ethereum Trust. BlackRock, a prominent asset manager, filed its application for a spot ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF) in November of last year. The ETF would be listed on Nasdaq if approved. Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency, has seen increasing interest from institutional investors. The SEC previously delayed its decision on BlackRock's application in January, following the approval of several bitcoin ETFs. A spot crypto ETF allows investors to gain exposure to a digital asset's market price without purchasing the currency itself.

Several Wall Street firms, including BlackRock and Fidelity Investments, have filed applications to launch the first US-listed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) holding ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency. A spot ether ETF, if approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission, could open the floodgates for ETFs backed by more speculative crypto assets. However, critics have expressed concerns over the volatility and potential price manipulation associated with these assets. The SEC has until May to approve or reject the first application for a spot ether ETF, with analysts suggesting approval is possible given the recent approval of spot bitcoin ETFs.

The growing interest in bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is leading some investors to shift their focus from gold-backed ETFs. While spot bitcoin ETFs provide an alternative for investors looking to hedge against inflation, analysts believe they won't pose a long-term challenge to gold. The recent approval of ETFs tracking the price of bitcoin by US regulators has opened up further opportunities for growth in the ETF market. However, caution is advised as bitcoin's volatility is still a concern for some, and gold remains a reliable asset for wealth preservation.
