The current mini bull market is mostly fueled by one thing: Bitcoin ETF anticipation, according to crypto analyst Stacy Muur. Once approved, a Bitcoin ETF has the potential to inject billions into the Web3 market capitalization.

Some people compare the adoption of Bitcoin ETFs to Gold ETFs, explains Stacy Muur. The SPDR Gold Shares ETF GLD launched in October 2004, making it easier for US clients to access and store physical gold. The case for Bitcoin is strikingly similar.

Stacy Muur says Bitcoin ETFs bring crypto into the financial mainstream by offering easy access to crypto for both individual and institutional investors, eliminating the need to buy or hold digital assets directly, same as with Gold ETFs. However, Bitcoin ETFs outshine gold for a few key reasons: Bitcoin’s supply is fixed, making it less elastic; and it’s backed by cutting-edge technology. These factors mean that BTC can have a distinct role in portfolios with its unique protection from systematic risk.

Moreover, it is worth considering that monetary policy in numerous G10 countries currently faces a heightened risk of being influenced by fiscal dominance, adds Stacy Muur. This situation could potentially lead to an increase in global M2 money supply, bolstering the performance of BTC.

While mainstream access to Bitcoin is already widespread, Stacy Muur says the role of ETFs in expanding this access cannot be understated. Many large asset managers rely on ETFs for building investment strategies, making Bitcoin ETFs crucial for the broader investment community. This is especially relevant in the U.S., where a significant portion of wealth is managed by institutions that may not directly buy and custody Bitcoin. In short, ETFs are super important for the crypto market to grow and flourish according to Stacy Muur.
