Quick takeaways

  • The expected approval of a Bitcoin ETF by the SEC and the upcoming Bitcoin halving event are driving factors behind the recent surge in Bitcoin prices.
  • Lower interest rates in the first half of 2024 will likely increase homebuyer demand and put upward pressure on home prices, exacerbated by the existing housing supply shortage and hesitancy of baby boomer homeowners to sell.

Bitcoin Rally: Expectations of SEC Approval

Bitcoin experienced a revival after its November 2021 peak and subsequent drop due to two reasons. First, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is expected to approve a spot Bitcoin ETF, attributing the recent rally to this anticipation. Second, the upcoming Bitcoin halving event is expected to happen soon, historically leading to a surge in Bitcoin price. While buying Bitcoin still carries speculative risk, the introduction of a Bitcoin ETF would offer institutional protections and make it more accessible for investors.
