The crypto world is abuzz āwith news that Michael āNovogratz, the ā¤CEO ā£of Galaxy Digital, expects the U.S. Securities āand Exchange ā¢Commission ā¤(SEC) to approveā a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF)ā soon.
Novogratz, a former hedge fund āmanager and Goldman Sachs partner, believes that theā SEC will eventually approve a Bitcoin ETF,ā citing the recent court ruling in favor of Wilshire Phoenix. The ācourt ruled that the SEC had āfailed to prove that ā£theā¢ proposed ā£ETFā wouldā¢ be susceptible to manipulation.
Novogratz believesā that the āSECā£ has been reluctant to approve a Bitcoin ETF due to concerns about manipulation. He believes thatā¤ the court ruling āhas changed the landscape and thatā the SEC will now be more likely to approve a Bitcoin ā¢ETF.
Novogratz also believes that the SEC is now more likely to approve a Bitcoin ETF due to the increasing institutionalā interest inā¢ the asset class.ā He believes that the increasing institutional ā¢demand for Bitcoin will make itā difficult forā¤ the SEC to ignore the asset class.
Novogratz ābelieves that the SEC will eventually approve a Bitcoin ETF, but he cautionsā¤ that ā£it may takeā¢ some time. He believes āthat the ā£SEC will ā£need ā¤to take its timeā¤ to ensure thatā¢ the ETF is properly regulated andā£ that it meets all of the necessaryā¢ requirements.
It remains to be ā¤seen whether the SEC will approve a Bitcoin ETF, ābut Novogratzās commentsā£ suggest that the asset class is gaining more mainstream acceptance. If the SEC does approveā a Bitcoin ETF, it ā¤could open the ādoor to more āinstitutional āinvestment in the asset classā and could lead to ā£further āmainstream adoption.
