Bitwise Releases Commercial for Spot Bitcoin ETF
Bitwise, the world’s largest crypto index fund manager, has released a commercial for its spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) in anticipation of regulatory approval. The company is among several firms that have filed for a spot BTC ETF with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The Most Interesting Man in the World Promotes Bitcoin
The new Bitwise advertisement features Jonathan Goldsmith, the actor famous for portraying “the Most Interesting Man in the World” in Dos Equis beer ads. Goldsmith addresses the audience and highlights Bitcoin’s interest and importance.
Predicted Approval Next Month
Bloomberg Intelligence ETF research analyst James Seyffart predicts that the first spot BTC ETFs will be approved by the SEC next month. This comes after SEC Chair Gary Gensler stated that the regulator is reevaluating ETFs in light of recent court rulings.
Legal Victory and Potential Inflow of Funds
Gensler’s reference to Grayscale’s legal victory suggests a change in perspective by the SEC. Bitwise’s chief investment officer Matt Hougan previously predicted that spot Bitcoin ETFs could attract $5 billion in their first year.
Hot Take: Bitwise’s Anticipation Reflects Growing Confidence in Bitcoin ETF Approval
Bitwise’s release of a commercial for its spot Bitcoin ETF indicates growing confidence among market participants that regulatory approval is imminent. With other firms also filing for BTC ETFs, it seems likely that the SEC will reconsider its previous denials based on recent court rulings. If approved, BTC ETFs could attract substantial investment and further legitimize Bitcoin as an asset class.
