Former FTX US President Brett Harrison lately had an interview with Cointelegraph Journal. As a part of the dialogue, Harrison gave his ideas on when a Spot Bitcoin ETF will likely be accredited and the potential worth stage the foremost crypto token might attain when this occurs. 

A Spot Bitcoin ETF May Be Authorized In Q1 of 2024

Harrison is alleged to have talked about that there’s a very “excessive chance” that the Securities and Trade Fee (SEC) will approve a Spot BTC ETF within the first quarter of 2024. His prediction occurs to be consistent with the truth that the SEC has to decide on ARK 21Shares Spot Bitcoin ETF on or earlier than January 10, 2024.

As such, there’s certainly a excessive chance {that a} Spot Bitcoin ETF may very well be accredited in Q1 of 2024 (and as early as January). Bloomberg analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas had additionally earlier talked about that there’s a 90% likelihood that approval will come by the January 10 deadline. 

In the meantime, there’s a rising perception that we would have a couple of Spot Bitcoin ETF utility accredited by January 10. Seyyfart had, after the Templeton and Hashdex delay, reasoned that the SEC may very well be lining up all ETFs for a “full wave of approvals.” 

Bitcoin’s Potential Worth When This Occurs

Harrison additionally gave his ideas on what worth stage Bitcoin might hit when a Spot Bitcoin ETF is accredited. The previous FTX US President appeared to have been conservative together with his worth prediction as he put BTC’s potential worth between $50,000 and $55,000. He doesn’t foresee the foremost crypto token hitting six figures in the direction of the tip of 2024 or early 2025. 

His prediction about when Bitcoin might hit six figures coincides with Matrixport’s prediction of $125,000. The crypto monetary providers agency predicts that BTC will hit this worth stage by the tip of 2024. Harrison’s prediction of the BTC worth rising to as excessive as $55,000 on the again of approval appears believable when Matrixport’s projection of BTC hitting $63,140 by April 2024.

Harrison is undoubtedly bullish a few Spot Bitcoin ETF and the success such an funding car can take pleasure in. He alluded to the primary day of a Bitcoin Futures ETF launching to again up his optimism. The ProShares Bitcoin Technique (BITO) ETF (the primary Bitcoin futures ETF) is reported to have seen greater than $1 billion in its first two days after launch. 

BITO grew to become the quickest ETF ever to hit that determine. Nevertheless, Harrison believes {that a} Spot Bitcoin ETF might go on to interrupt extra data.
