Spot Bitcoin ETFs: The Undervalued Bullish Potential in the Crypto Market
Discover why the crypto market is undervaluing the bullish potential of Spot Bitcoin ETFs. Leading analysts argue for a long-term optimistic perspective and discuss the impact of regulatory challenges on ETF approvals.

The cryptocurrency industry has a tendency to consistently astound investors and market participants alike. Yet, one cannot help but notice an apparent discrepancy between the assessment and the budding promise of Spot Bitcoin ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds). Leading analysts across the board argue that the crypto market dramatically undervalues the bullish potential these financial instruments possess.
The Market Is “Wrong” About Bitcoin ETFs
K33 Research recently highlighted the significant disconnect in market sentiment and the increased prospects of a Spot Bitcoin ETF approval. Senior Analyst Vetle Lunde, alongside Vice President Anders Helseth, accentuated that despite the market downturn, many have missed the magnitude of this historic event. They believe that in the long term, the scales will tilt in favor of the bulls.
Delving deeper into the complexities of the situation, Grayscale’s triumphant legal face-off against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) saw a court ruling that severely criticized the regulator’s rationale for rejecting Spot Bitcoin ETF applications as 'arbitrary and capricious.' Although Bitcoin has essentially relinquished its gains, Lunde and Helseth maintain that a Spot Bitcoin ETF’s approval would trigger colossal financial inflows, exponentially heightening buying pressure.
Ilya Volkov, CEO of YouHodler, told BeInCrypto that he also believes “it is a great time to enter the market.” He emphasized that investors have yet to fully appreciate Grayscale’s victory against the SEC, suggesting a bullish long-term outlook.
Still, the former board member at Libertex Group underscored the need for patience. Subsequently noting that the looming regulatory challenges could overshadow predictions by several Bloomberg analysts, who foresee a 75% likelihood of a Spot Bitcoin ETF endorsement.
Could Ethereum Be Labeled Security?
The unfolding narrative around cryptocurrencies is not limited to Bitcoin. Ethereum, for instance, could overshadow Bitcoin’s performance in the coming months. Analysts suggest that Ethereum will capitalize on the momentum stemming from an anticipated futures-based ETF listing. Drawing parallels, Bitcoin witnessed a 60% surge in the weeks preceding the debut of its futures-based ETF on October 19, 2021. The trajectory ETH might undertake could emulate this path. Indeed, noteworthy financial institutions, such as JPMorgan and Bernstein, have reiterated the monumental impact on the broader crypto market.
Still, Volkov cautions about the potential of the SEC classifying ETH as a security, which may not impede the approval of an Ethereum ETF.
While the market awaits regulatory clarity, Volkov emphasized that the global crypto adoption invariably hinges on market maturity. Like all markets, cryptocurrency experiences a progression, starting with little to no regulation and marked volatility. However, according to Volkov, markets often face a significant disruption, necessitating regulatory intervention. This intervention ushers in stability, leading to consistent and sustainable market trends. Therefore, the comprehensive regulatory frameworks being developed underscore the seriousness with which authorities regard this technology.
Regulators are still trying to figure out the terminology to define cryptocurrencies. But as soon as they do, that will be a big step forward. The turbulence we are experiencing will be over at some point. I do not see any single pivotal milestone changing that. It will be a slow, consistent trend of long-term adoption,” Volkov concluded.
