No Surprise Here: Institutions Could Run Bitcoin’s Price Higher
ETF Trends, 31 March 2021
Institutions are slowly warming to Bitcoin, which many market observers believe will lead to substantial long-term price appreciation.
Institutional investors are playing an increasingly prominent role in the Bitcoin market, and that role is likely to continue growing. For smaller investors, there are tangible benefits to this scenario.
Cryptocurrencies remain largely unregulated, which has deterred many potential investors. The Securities and Exchange Commission has so far rejected exemptive relief for any attempt to roll out a Bitcoin ETF, arguing that there is not enough protection against fraud and market manipulation in the cryptocurrency market. However, institutional investors are moving past those concerns and embracing Bitcoin in a big way.
