VanEck adviser Gabor Gurbacs recently shared insights on the potential impact of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). While acknowledging that the immediate effects of a Bitcoin ETF launch might be modest, Gurbacs remains bullish on its long-term influence. He anticipates initial inflows of around $100 million, primarily from large institutional investors. Drawing parallels with the history of gold ETFs, Gurbacs projects a significant long-term appreciation for Bitcoin. He likens Bitcoin's market situation to gold's status in 2004 and suggests that, like gold, Bitcoin could experience substantial market capitalization growth post-ETF approval. Gurbacs highlights the potential of a spot Bitcoin ETF to legitimize and destigmatize Bitcoin, especially among institutional investors and nation-states. Bloomberg analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart concur, focusing on the potential long-term impacts rather than short-term expectations.
