Bitcoin ETFs to Revolutionize Wall Street, According to Michael Saylor
Michael Saylor, co-founder of MicroStrategy, recently discussed the potential impact of an upcoming approval for a Bitcoin ETF.
Before the holiday season, fund issuers have been in discussions with regulators to finalize the specifics. Saylor expressed to Bloomberg that the advent of spot Bitcoin ETFs could potentially mark one of the most significant moments on Wall Street in the past three decades. He likened it to the introduction of the S&P Index, enabling investment in multiple companies simultaneously.

Saylor highlighted that the current BTC investment landscape primarily involves hodlers and traditional crypto investors. The introduction of spot ETFs, he noted, would provide a broader avenue for mainstream investors and institutions to participate in this asset class, anticipating a surge in demand in January followed by a subsequent supply shock in April due to the halving.
Although Saylor refrained from making a specific price prediction, he hinted at a substantial bullish phase for Bitcoin in 2024. MicroStrategy, boasting 158,245 BTC valued at $6.8 billion, stands as the largest corporate holder of the cryptocurrency.
