The recent approval of Spot Bitcoin ETFs has been described by Goldman Sachs as a significant psychological milestone for the digital asset market. According to Matthew McDermott, Goldman Sachs’ global head of crypto, this approval has revitalized the market, drawing considerable interest from institutional investors.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) unexpected approval of the Spot Bitcoin ETF has breathed new life into digital assets. Following the approval, Bitcoin surged to a new all-time high of $73,000 within three months, sparking widespread optimism about the market’s future trajectory.
The introduction of Spot Bitcoin ETFs in early 2024 marked a dramatic shift in the digital asset landscape. This development significantly boosted the market’s credibility and attractiveness, particularly among institutional investors. McDermott emphasized the Bitcoin ETF’s impressive performance at the Consensus Crypto Conference in Texas, noting a 60% rally since its approval.
McDermott also expressed optimism about Ethereum, speculating that it might soon see similar ETF offerings. Institutional investors continue to show robust interest in both Bitcoin and Ethereum, which remain the most requested digital assets.
The advent of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in the U.S. has opened new opportunities for the digital asset market, underscoring the growing trust and interest from institutional investors.
