As of November 17, Bitcoin faced a 1.21% decline, trading at $36,467.12 amid a broader market sell-off due to BlackRock’s Spot Ethereum ETF filing. Despite this, BTC surged 29% in a week, reflecting positive market sentiment.
Butterfill highlighted potential benefits of a Bitcoin ETF but noted gradual regulatory and market adoption challenges. He anticipates a demand surge post-ETF launch, emphasizing the need to overcome regulatory barriers and simplify Bitcoin’s perceived complexity as an investment asset.
