Bitcoin Preparing for Institutional Inflows Ahead of ETF Approval
According to Dan Tapiero, founder and CEO of 10T Holdings, Bitcoin (BTC) is set to experience a surge in institutional inflows in anticipation of the approval of a United States exchange-traded fund (ETF). The increasing excitement over the potential approval of a U.S. Bitcoin spot price ETF has already caused BTC’s price action to respond positively.
Tapiero’s Optimistic View on Capital Inflows
Tapiero believes that mass capital inflows are on the verge of entering the Bitcoin market. He pointed out that open interest on CME Group’s Bitcoin futures markets has surpassed that of Binance for the first time, marking a significant shift in institutional interest. This development signals the beginning of a renewed wave of institutional adoption of Bitcoin.
The aggregate Bitcoin futures open interest recently reached $17 billion, marking seven-month highs, and while it has slightly decreased to $15.5 billion at the time of writing, the optimism surrounding the potential ETF approval remains high.
Market Outlook and Caution Signals
Trading firm QCP Capital also expressed optimism about a potential spot ETF for Ether (ETH), which could further boost the crypto market. However, they warned about caution due to lower highs on Bitcoin’s daily relative strength index (RSI) values, suggesting a potential cooling-off period from the recent highs.
The firm advised caution as crucial resistance levels are being approached and BTC is showing signs of a triple bear divergence with the RSI, which historically indicates momentum stalling.
Hot Take: The Future Looks Bright for BTC
Despite the cautionary signals regarding Bitcoin’s daily RSI, there is an overall sense of optimism in the crypto market. The anticipation of an ETF approval and increasing institutional interest indicate positive developments ahead for Bitcoin.
