Bitcoin Could Surge With SEC's Spot ETF Approvals; Matrixport Urges 'Upside Exposure'
Portfolio Pulse from Murtuza Merchant
Crypto-services provider Matrixport predicts that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) might approve multiple spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) soon, potentially boosting Bitcoin's value. The SEC is expected to address Grayscale's GBTC lawsuit and the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF reapplication soon, with responses to seven other Bitcoin ETF applications anticipated in early September. Matrixport suggests that a physical Bitcoin ETF might charge a management fee between 0.7% to 1%, potentially generating around $200 million annually for these ETF providers.
