Bullish Bitcoin (BTC) Price Predictions in Case SEC Approves an ETF: What You Need to Know

The Bitcoin spot ETF narrative has numerous analysts and famous figures in the crypto space debating how much BTC will be worth if the ETF gets approved.

The recent developments in the cryptocurrency market — the aftermath of the DOJ settling with Binance in $4.3 billion dealand the removal of CEO Changpeng Zhao — have sparked a re-uation of the bullish narrative surrounding the potential approval of a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF).

Binance Coin (BNB) dropped 20%, while Bitcoin initially dropped by $2,000. However, the BTC price broke above $38,000, marking its highest level in over a year and a half. Its market cap surged to nearly $750 billion, reflecting a 6% weekly increase. It has retraced a bit since.

Others are taking a more extreme stance, however. Samson Mow, CEO of Bitcoin adoption firm Jan3, not only suggested that Bitcoin could hit $1,000,000 per coin following ETF approval but also claimed that those predicting anything less are in for a “pleasant surprise.”

It has come to my attention that there are some #Bitcoiners that don’t think #Bitcoin can reach $1,000,000 in a matter of days/weeks after ETF money starts to flow in. They’re in for a pleasant surprise.

Billions in Institutional Inflow? Most Likely

In a recent report, Coinbase predicts that final regulatory approval for a Bitcoin ETF could be a game-changer for the wealth management sector, handling billions of dollars in institutional inflows.

The exchange sees the ETF as an opportunity to attract investors who typically rely on ETFs for unique investment strategies rather than independently buying and holding Bitcoin.
