British "Economist": Bitcoin will not disappear, the establishment of ETF may make its future price trend slower and more stable

The Economist magazine in the UK wrote an article titled "What Will Happen After Bitcoin Soars", pointing out that Bitcoin is not rising in isolation: every asset is rising, stock markets around the world are approaching record highs, and so is the price of gold. Bitcoin's performance is better than most assets. The US Securities and Exchange Commission's approval of the establishment of a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) makes it easier for ordinary investors to buy this encrypted currency. Bitcoin has existed for 14 years, and its concise mechanism for self-certification and verification of supply growth has never been compromised by hackers, meaning that this token will not disappear. With the establishment of ETFs, it is now obvious that Bitcoin has become an investment asset. The establishment of Bitcoin ETFs may have triggered a crazy and amazing surge, but the future price trend it predicts may be more slow and stable.

BlackRock IBIT needs to flow in more than $155 million to maintain the overall net inflow of spot ETFs.

Several fund Hong Kong subsidiaries will explore spot Bitcoin ETF applications

The Hong Kong Bitcoin spot ETF may be coming soon. Following the approval of the first Bitcoin spot ETF in the United States, Hong Kong financial institutions are accelerating their layout of virtual asset spot ETFs. It is reported that some fund company subsidiaries have submitted relevant applications, and some that have not yet submitted applications are also accelerating their preparations. China International Fund Management Co., Ltd. became the first institution to submit a Bitcoin spot ETF application to the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission. In addition, many Hong Kong institutions are eagerly anticipating this development. A representative from Huaxia Fund (Hong Kong) stated that Huaxia Hong Kong is actively studying the operation mechanism of virtual asset spot ETFs under the guidance framework of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, and is also exploring the development prospects of virtual asset ETFs in Hong Kong. Another fund company revealed that the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission had previously announced that it was ready to accept virtual asset spot ETF applications and that institutions had already submitted applications. In addition, some Hong Kong banks currently support customers trading virtual asset ETFs listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, thus indirectly accessing the cryptocurrency market in a relatively safe manner.

Jake Chervinsky: Spot Ethereum ETF approval faces uncertainty due to market volatility and SEC resistance

Jake Chervinsky, Chief Legal Officer of risk fund Variant, expressed doubts about the approval of this year's spot Ethereum ETF. Chervinsky stated that although Bitcoin ETFs have been successful in the past, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is facing increasing political pressure and market instability, which could affect their decision-making process. Chervinsky pointed out that the SEC has the ability to resist legal challenges by taking a stance that satisfies political priorities, even if these positions may not fully comply with legal precedents. This strategy, while controversial, can be used to demonstrate the rationality of possibly rejecting a spot ETH ETF.
