Bitcoin Spot ETF Coming In January 2024<\/h2>\n

Many experts have revised their expectations for if and when the SEC would approve a Spot Bitcoin ETF. At first, expectations were low.

In a report released on Monday, December 18, Matrixport Head of Research Markus Thielen reveals a 95% chance that a Spot BTC ETF<\/a> will be approved in January 2024. January carries the deadline dates for most of the 13 filings so far, and Thielen expects that the SEC will approve a spot ETF on January 10<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The report points to the fact that BlackRock, the largest asset manager in the world, reviewed its S-1 filing<\/a> with the SEC. Here, the regulator had given the asset manager instructions which included monitoring unusual price movements, storing all private keys in cold storage, and having procedures in the event there are Bitcoin forks.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the SEC also responded to Franklin-Templeton\u2019s filing in November despite having until January to do so. This move, the analyst says, \u201cgave the impression that the SEC is lining all issuers up to get approval by January 10, 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thielen explains the importance of the meeting the regulator had with BlackRock<\/a>, saying,\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cThe SEC has never actively engaged with potential ETF issues and appears to have given all ETF issuers with whom it had discussions the same instructions.\u201d<\/p>\n

BTC Price Expectations After Approvals<\/h2>\n
Given that Matrixport expects approvals to come in January, the analyst also gave their expectation for price when this happens.
