Portfolio Pulse from Mehab Qureshi
Peter Schiff predicts a sharp decline in Bitcoin's price due to anticipated stringent regulations from the SEC, following the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs. Schiff believes these regulations will increase Bitcoin transaction costs and undermine its utility. The recent trading of new Bitcoin Spot ETFs saw about $10 billion in volume in just three days. SEC-approved Spot ETFs include those from Grayscale, Bitwise, Hashdex, iShares, Valkyrie, ARK 21Shares, Invesco Galaxy, VanEck, WisdomTree, Fidelity Wise Origin, and Franklin.
