FX.co ★ Technical Analysis of BTC/USD for June 19, 2023

Crypto Industry News:

The market is hoping that the BlackRock ETF will help cryptocurrencies. Is it really a signal of mass adoption coming? Finbold points out that as recently as 5 years ago, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said that "fund clients are not interested" in cryptocurrencies. He accurately said that the number of interested is zero. It must now be much higher if the fund has taken advanced steps by filing with the SEC.

As recently as 8 months ago, Fink pointed out that Bitcoin is amazing. Why? Because it raises great interest, although the crypto market is still just a flea compared to the stock market. What's more, he said some hope that cryptocurrencies will catch up with stocks in the distant future. As a representative of Wall Street, he spoke quite enthusiastically, in his opinion, this is a 'possible' scenario. The previously skeptical giant is showing more and more interest in cryptocurrencies.

Pending the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), BlackRock has developed a positive reputation with the regulator, as highlighted in the Finbold report. It is worth noting that BlackRock's record for SEC-approved ETFs stands at an impressive 575-1. If the application for a spot ETF is approved, it could have far-reaching consequences for the entire cryptocurrency market. It is worth noting that the SEC has yet to approve any Bitcoin spot ETFs, although it has given the green light to Bitcoin futures ETFs in the past. The introduction of the spot can have a significant impact on the value of the cryptocurrency market - mainly Bitcoin. A similar story happened many years ago with the gold spot ETF.
