For the past few months, Bitcoin ETFs have been among the most closely followed news items on the crypto market. The reason for this is their potential role in the explosion of asset prices, starting with bitcoin. Indeed, the eventual arrival of a Bitcoin ETF on the market is seen as good news. But it seems, according to some experts, that it could thwart the ambitions of crypto exchanges. Here's why.
Bloomberg analysts increase their estimates of the chances of approval of a Bitcoin Spot ETF in the US. This change is the result of Grayscale's recent victory against the SEC in the Court of Appeals. An analysis which, if it proves correct, should boost the crypto sector considerably.
A recent data analysis reveals that bitcoin reserves held by several exchanges are falling sharply. This trend could have major implications for the crypto market. In particular, exchanges could soon run out of liquidity and see their trading volumes plummet.

Ripple's battle with the SEC came to an end last week. While the settlement company must feel relieved, the regulator hasn't said its last word. If CEO Gary Gensler's statements are anything to go by, it's not all over yet.
The SEC, often known for its outbursts against companies operating in the crypto market, has just made a big decision. The American regulator has just accepted BlackRock's application for a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). This decision could mark a new turning point in the institutional adoption of bitcoin (BTC).
BTC continues to hold in the $30,000 to $31,000 range. Large investors seem to remain optimistic and continue to accumulate. The long-term price trend for bitcoin (BTC) remains bullish, although a new DIP cannot be ruled out. Short-term selling could be attractive.
