Steven McClurg, Chief Investment Officer på Valkyrie, ett specialiserat alternativt kapitalförvaltningsföretag med en stor närvaro i den digitala tillgångssektorn, hävdar att godkännandet av en Bitcoin spotbörshandlad fond (ETF) kan komma tidigare än väntat. Chefen tror att en spot BTC ETF kommer att godkännas så snart som i slutet av denna månad. 

I en intervju med ETF.com, noterade McClurg att under de kommande veckorna kommer US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) att begära en andra omgång kommentarer på alla Bitcoin spot ETF-applikationer. Den första omgången av kommentarer begärdes i slutet av september, och det är viktigt att notera att investeringsförvaltningsföretaget också lämnade in sina egna uppdateringar av spot-ETF-ansökan tidigare i veckan.

“A late November approval likely means a February launch,” said McClurg, while adding that the US securities regulator might wait until the new year to ask the applicants to put final touches on S-1 filings. He noted that after the second round of comments this month, the SEC would approve the necessary 19b-4 filings at the end of November.

“Before anything else happens, we get a second round of comments, and I believe we’ll probably get those comments in the next one to three weeks,” said the Valkyrie executive.

McClurg also pointed out that he expects about $10 billion in demand for these Bitcoin products in the first four to eight weeks after launch. Moreover, he also added that the ETFs could see “somewhere north of $50 billion in inflows” over the first five years. Additionally, ETF.com also obtained a statement from Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan, who said that he is “hopeful” regarding his firm’s plans to debut a Bitcoin spot ETF in the near future.

Hougan also stated that “market manipulation is still a potential stumbling block” and noted that “custody isn’t [necessarily] a wrap.” On the other hand, SEC Chair Gary Gensler confirmed that his agency is reviewing around 8–10 Bitcoin spot ETF applications simultaneously. Gensler has shot down multiple applications for spot ETFs due to concerns about market manipulation and extreme volatility. 

Samtidigt har priset på Bitcoin stigit med 30% den senaste månaden på grund av spekulationer om spot-ETF-godkännande. Michael Saylor, tidigare VD och styrelseordförande för MicroStrategy, sa det one “can never have too much Bitcoin.”
