Bitcoin’s Potential Surprises: Insights from BTC Bull Anthony Pompliano

Anthony Pompliano, a prominent Bitcoin (BTC) advocate, believes that two pivotal events could reshape the cryptocurrency landscape, resembling the 2020 bull market surge.
In a recent CNBC interview, Pompliano stated that regulators are likely to approve a Bitcoin ETF linked to the cryptocurrency’s spot market.
This green light, he suggests, could ignite a significant bull market, especially if it aligns with the next BTC halving event in April 2024.
Pompliano noted that while futures-based ETFs already exist, the timing of a spot Bitcoin ETF’s approval is crucial. He also emphasized an often-overlooked aspect: the ETF approval could trigger a demand surge, with a substantial influx of assets into the industry.
Moreover, as the ETF approval coincides with the BTC halving event, it may coincide with a supply shock, potentially leading to a 2020-like price surge.
The BTC halving, which reduces miners’ rewards by half, is scheduled for April 2024. Pompliano expects institutional investors, including sovereign wealth funds and large institutions, to take a keen interest in Bitcoin once a Bitcoin ETF becomes available.

He stated, “Retail investors seeking Bitcoin exposure have found ways to do so in recent years. Thus, I don’t foresee a significant influx from this group. However, sovereign wealth funds and major institutions are unlikely to buy spot Bitcoin directly from Coinbase, creating potential for ETF inflows.”
