Market Expert Warns: Bitcoin’s Destiny Tied to ETF Approval
An influential figure in digital asset investments has suggested that the potential approval of a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) on the spot market might trigger a fluctuation in the cryptocurrency's value.
According to insights shared by Chris Burniske, the founder of Placeholder Capital, the recent surge in Bitcoin’s value might indicate a scenario where investors consider capitalizing on profits in the event of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) giving the green light to a spot BTC ETF in the near future.
This move, as predicted, could cause a short-term downturn in Bitcoin’s market trajectory.
An approval might result in a market scenario where most anticipated buyers have already taken positions, while rejections could potentially initiate a sell-off. He pointed out the likelihood of traditional financial giants taking time to activate their marketing strategies, translating the approvals into significant market movements.
The industry expert also highlighted the similarity between the current Bitcoin uptrend and patterns observed in 2019, implying the possibility of a dip in the first quarter of the upcoming year, reminiscent of historical trends following a surge.

Further discussing the market scenario, it was suggested that the current momentum might reflect an enthusiastic buying spree similar to previous patterns. This sentiment, if sustained into the new year, could potentially align with Burniske’s previously observed market scenarios.
The expert emphasized that the blockchain’s standalone utilization might not immediately trigger a bullish market cycle, pointing out the need for further refinements in user experience (UX) and the deployment of new applications to attract a larger user base. Although promising developments are underway, widespread adoption and scalability are yet to be achieved, with the forthcoming quarters expected to witness notable shifts in this direction.
