Bitcoin Set to Hit $56,000 Upon BlackRock ETF Approval šŸ”„

While maintaining the $30,000 mark is proving challenging for Bitcoin$BTC , there appears to be a noteworthy surge in bullish sentiment. It can be attributed in part to the increased optimism of investors regarding the potential approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF in the US.

A potential approval can push #bitcoin between $42,000 and $56,000, according to a new report.

the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has declined to grant approval for a spot Bitcoin ETF despite numerous applications. Matrixportā€™s latest report has weighed in on the matter, speculating on the potential impact of BlackRockā€™s eagerly awaited spot Bitcoin ETF approval.

The report draws a comparison to the substantial $120 billion precious metals ETF industry. If even a modest 10ā€“20% of investors currently engaged in precious metal ETFs decide to diversify their portfolios by allocating funds to Bitcoin ETFs, this shift could channel a notable $12 billion to $24 billion into these cryptocurrency investment options.

The crypto financial services platformā€™s latest analysis suggests that if BlackRockā€™s spot Bitcoin ETF is approved, the asset could experience a significant price surge.

Tetherā€™s market cap, often viewed as a proxy for potential ETF inflows, plays a crucial role in this scenario. A $24 billion increase in Tetherā€™s market cap is predicted to drive Bitcoinā€™s price to $42,000, reflecting a conservative estimate.

However, a more substantial influx of $50 billion, accounting for a 1% allocation from Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs), could propel Bitcoin to soar to an impressive $56,000.

BlackRock stated,

ā€œOur earlier reports analyzed the 15,000-strong US registered investor advisor (RIA) community overseeing around $5 trillion. This group holds immense potential, and even a modest 1% allocation recommendation for Bitcoin would usher in around $50 billion in inflows.ā€#crypto2023
