The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is expected to approve Valkyrie’s Bitcoin ETF, with trading potentially starting this Thursday, prompting McClurg's prediction.
McClurg notes market developments, citing Grayscale's addition of XRP to a publicly traded trust, as an indication of growing interest in diversified cryptocurrency investment products.
While Valkyrie hasn't confirmed plans for Ethereum and Ripple ETFs, McClurg sees favorable market conditions for such offerings, potentially catering to retail investors seeking easier access to the cryptocurrency market.
Despite optimism, regulatory complexities, particularly the classification of XRP and Ethereum as securities, may pose challenges for spot ETF approvals.
While the impact on XRP and Ethereum prices could resemble the Bitcoin ETF pattern, the SEC's cautious stance on the broader crypto market may present additional hurdles.
Several companies, including Invesco, Bitwise, Valkyrie, and WisdomTree, have adjusted fees in their applications for spot Bitcoin ETFs, anticipating approval to attract new investors and substantial inflows. McClurg remains confident in Valkyrie's Bitcoin ETF launch but awaits SEC confirmation.
