RE: Will an ETF (exchange-traded fund) actually increase the price of Bitcoin?

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

Clearly, this type of investment vehicle is designed to make the cushy lives of investors even cushier. This alone, along with its familiarity for these investors, makes Bitcoin far more attractive and a lot less risky.
This has been actively seen with just the news of Bitcoin futures being announced. When CME announced it would offer futures on Bitcoin in the future, the currency shot to over $12000 as Wall Streeters and other investors alike liked their lips at the chance to trade a futuristic commodity in a familiar way.
Now, with that paradigm being shattered, and the CME taking the plunge, there is bound to be a dam wall break when it comes to other futures, as well as ETFs.
