As the January 10 deadline<\/a> for the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to decide on a series of spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) approaches, the market is rife with speculation.<\/p>\n

Initially, there was a strong consensus for approval, but recent expert analyses suggest a possible change in course. Meanwhile, the Bitcoin price has crashed by 6.5% in 20 minutes, dropping from $44,400 to $41,500.<\/p>\n

1. Bloomberg’s Insight: A Matter of Timing, Not Denial<\/h2>\n

Bloomberg’s ETF expert, Eric Balchunas, assessed a mere 10% chance of the ETFs not being approved, primarily due to the SEC requiring additional time to review the proposals. This perspective is critical because it implies that the SEC is not outright opposed to the idea of a spot Bitcoin ETF<\/a>, but is cautious in its approach.<\/p>\n

Balchunas commented<\/a>, \u201cI would say if we don\u2019t see it in the next two weeks, it\u2019s more because they need more time,” indicating that a delay in approval should not be interpreted as a final rejection.<\/p>\n

His colleague, James Seyffart, provided<\/a> further insights, noting, \u201cStill looking for potential approval orders in that Jan 8 to Jan 10 window. […] We’re focused on these 11 spot Bitcoin ETF filers […] Expecting most of these N\/A’s to be filled over the next ~week,\u201d highlighting the dynamic nature of the situation.<\/p>\n

2. Matrixport\u2019s Pessimistic Outlook: A Delay To Q2 2024<\/h2>\n

Matrixport offers a more cautious outlook<\/a>, anticipating that the SEC’s approval of Bitcoin ETFs<\/a> might be deferred until the second quarter of 2024. This analysis hinges on a combination of regulatory challenges and the prevailing political climate under SEC Chair Gary Gensler<\/a>‘s leadership.<\/p>\n

The report states, \u201cThe leadership of the SEC’s five-person voting Commissioners, predominantly Democrats<\/a>, influences the decision-making process. With Chair Gensler\u2019s cautious stance on crypto in the US, it seems unlikely that he would endorse the approval of Bitcoin Spot ETFs in the near term.”<\/p>\n

The firm further explains that despite the ongoing interactions between ETF applicants and the SEC, resulting in multiple reapplications, there remains a fundamental requirement unmet that is crucial for the SEC’s approval. This requirement, although unspecified in the report, is suggested to be a significant compliance or regulatory hurdle that could be addressed by the second quarter of 2024.<\/p>\n

The potential delay or rejection of the ETFs, according to Matrixport, could have a notable impact on Bitcoin’s market value. They predict a possible 20% correction, with prices potentially falling to the $36,000 range.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Matrixport suggests that such an outcome could lead to a swift unwinding of market positions, particularly the $5.1 billion in additional perpetual long Bitcoin futures.<\/p>\n

The report advises traders to consider hedging their positions if no approval news emerges by January 5, 2024, suggesting the purchase of $40,000 strike puts for the end of January or even shorting Bitcoin through options.<\/p>\n

3. Greeks Live\u2019s Analysis: Decreasing Confidence<\/h2>\n

Greeks Live, focusing on crypto options trades, has observed<\/a> a shift in market sentiment, with a decreased likelihood of the ETF’s passage. They report a significant decline in the ATM option IV for the week and below 65% for the January 12 expiration, indicating reduced market expectations for the ETF approval.<\/p>\n

The report notes, \u201cCurrent month puts are now cheaper, and block trades are starting to see active put buying, with options market data suggesting that institutional investors are not very bullish on the ETF market.\u201d<\/p>\n

A possible delay or rejection of Bitcoin ETFs carries significant market implications. The anticipation of ETF approval has been a major driving force in recent market dynamics, leading to increased investments<\/a>. A decision against the ETFs could result in a rapid unwinding of these positions, potentially causing a sharp decrease in Bitcoin prices.<\/p>\n

At press time, BTC had already recovered some of its losses and was trading at $42,450. This means that the price has once again returned to the upward trend channel in the 1-day chart that was established in mid-October last year.<\/p>\n

His libertarian views reinforce his stance that just as the church was separated from the state, so too should money be freed from governmental control. For Jake, Bitcoin represents more than just an investment; it's a peaceful revolution.

As a journalist, Jake\u2019s articles are crafted with the precision of a scholar and the passion of a true believer. He provides not only news but also thoughtful analysis that connects the dots between daily developments and larger economic theories. His work is a beacon for those lost in the technical jargon often associated with crypto discussions, illuminating the practical implications and benefits of these technologies.

His work is more than just a collection of articles; it\u2019s a resource, a guide, and a companion for anyone ready to explore the potential of this digital frontier.

Jake is not just a reporter on technological trends; he is a firm believer in the transformative potential of Bitcoin over traditional fiat currencies. To him, the current financial system is on the brink of chaos, propelled by unchecked government actions and flawed Keynesian economic policies. Drawing from the principles of the Austrian school of economics, Jake views Bitcoin not merely as a digital asset but as a crucial step towards rectifying a failing monetary system. His libertarian views reinforce his stance that just as the church was separated from the state, so too should money be freed from governmental control. For Jake, Bitcoin represents more than just an investment; it's a peaceful revolution. He envisions a future where Bitcoin fosters a sustainable and responsible financial framework for generations to come.
