• Bitcoin (BTC) price has printed a decent upsurge following different positive market fundamentals.
• One of the most dominant of these fundamentals is the hype around spot Bitcoin ETFs.

The price of Bitcoin (BTC), the leading cryptocurrency by market capitalization, is set to reach unprecedented levels with the rate at which the broad market and ETF sentiment is going. Currently, the premier digital currency is trading at a spot price $31,155.09, having gained 1.95% in the last 24 hours.

While the United States Consumer Price Index (CPI) which was released on Wednesday as well as the positive XRP ruling may have played a crucial role in this slight price increment, the growing trend and hype surrounding Bitcoin ETFs is also a contributor.

The anticipation for a spot Bitcoin (BTC) Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) is mounting strongly. Findings from a Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH) survey conducted with 325 institutional investors as respondents have left the entire crypto industry in awe.

According to the BBH’s 10th Annual ETF Survey, Bitcoin ETFs are expected to exceed $30 trillion in global asset value over the next 10 years. This prediction takes into cognizance that most of the investment managers that are suddenly interested in crypto have at least $1 billion in assets under management (AUM). Explicitly, the result of the survey shows increasing acceptance and adoption of the asset, popularity, as well as the transformative potential of Bitcoin ETFs within the investment landscape.

From the survey, 60% of investors are enthusiastic about increasing their usage of this investment option. During an exclusive interview with Bloomberg, Shawn McNinch, BBH’s Global ETF Head said.

“If you think about ETFs, they are really now core, at the center of a lot of investors’ allocation strategies. There’s more and more usage of ETFs, more asset classes, more structures.”

Institutional Investors’ Bitcoin ETF Push Mean Well For Crypto

In addition, Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas explained that ETFs are an investment option that boomers and financial advisors prefer to invest in. He cited the recent embrace of investment asset management firms around spot Bitcoin ETF as a clear indication of their stance.

Out of over seven submitted requests, the most outstanding of them all is that of BlackRock, the investment behemoth which has over $9.5 trillion in assets under management (AUM).

Balchunas acknowledged that BlackRock’s involvement in the spot BTC ETF race is pivotal to the turn of events as it has hinted at a glint of hope for the crypto industry. Specifically, it has improved the chances of approval from 1% to 50%. Putting it more clearly, the ETF analyst confirmed that BlackRock and others that have applied for spot Bitcoin ETF are very smart as “they don’t just throw filings out willy nilly”.

He strongly believes that they see something out there that they think they can use to get through to the regulators. Former Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Jay Clayton also gave voice to Balchunas’s argument citing that approving a spot Bitcoin ETF could be “hard to resist” for the United States regulator after the involvement of BlackRock and other major financial institutions.
