To get the show every day, follow the podcast here.Today on "Markets Daily," Helene Braun speaks with Eddy Gifford, a TACTIVE Wealth Advisor, who shares his insights on the potential impact of the ETF approval on Bitcoin and the market as a whole. They also discuss the recent passing of the FIT 21 bill and its significance for the crypto industry. Takeaways |
The anticipation of the SEC's decision on the approval of a spot Ether ETF is driving the market, with expectations of a positive outcome leading to a potential surge in Bitcoin and Ether prices.
The approval of the FIT 21 bill is seen as a significant win for the crypto industry, as it establishes a regulatory framework that promotes widespread adoption and protects consumers.
The approval of a spot Ether ETF is expected to have a complementary effect on the spot Bitcoin ETF, rather than detracting from its momentum.
While Solana is seen as a logical next step for ETF approval, it may take some time for another coin to receive approval, and in the meantime, ETFs that include altcoins are more likely to be introduced.
Crypto is becoming increasingly important in the political landscape, with candidates and presidents recognizing its potential and the need to embrace technology and innovation.
