Bitcoin Forum

Once its like other stocks, we know that there is a huge chance that the prices will shoot up like crazy.  However, after that we will see a lot of stability and this will not be very volatile like now therefore huge up and downs wont be possible and profits will not be huge (Including risks)

Is it correct? can someone please explain how does this works? Is there going be a big commission as well on each trade? is there going to be a margin? I actually dont understand this if someone can shed some light in simple terms. Thanks.

at the end of the day bitcoin is still a global currency and is being traded mainly on exchanges all around the world not just in US or in SEC approved places through ETFs!
which means with or without ETF bitcoin will continue on its own path and with its increasing adoption as a currency by merchants and customers the price of it will continue to rise.

in short ETF is just a short term hype that is disturbing that rise by making it faster now and possibly cause drops soon but it can not change the inevitable rise.

It is most unlikely that ETFs will make any negative impact. If a big corporate comes to the bitcoin market, it will make positive impact only and nothing else. However, we don't yet know what kind of ETFs will those be! There are mainly two types of ETFs,

1. Synthetic ETF - which doesn't hold any physical asset and plays on the price fluctuation of the attached asset.
2. Physical ETF - Actually holds physical asset

So if these ETFs are in question starts holding physical bitcoin, they will actually have to buy those from the open market and fresh funds will flow into the market. That is going to make positive impact for sure. However, if these ETFs are planning to introduce synthetic funds, then no fresh funds will flow into the market and no positive impact is likely to be shown.

Since we don't yet know what kind it is, it's better to wait and watch the outcome. THE rest of your questions can be answered once we have the details of these ETFs available with us.

Not really. In fact if more companies, especially the giants get involved in the market, it will be a great thing indeed for the market.

you right, btc have a huge chance that the prices will shoot up like crazy, but it's still a day far away from now.
with ETF or without it, I think btc still the same.

Even if SEC's verdict goes the other way which is very unlikely to happen, it won't leave much impact on crypto market. Bitcoin and other ALTs have been there for a long time, with upcoming advancements of blockchain it is more likely to remain the same or even grow in numbers in the future. So, these coins will remain the same no matter what SEC approves of.

I don't think ETF sanction can make a negative impact on the recent market rather, Bitcoin ETF will be backed by Bitcoin as the underlying asset. If big investors join the market then it will be profitable for everyone as BTC will see increased demand which means the price will increase too.

Unpredictable by now because we have not yet known there decision either favourable or not, if its possible it will have great impact and when negative it will affect it.

Of course yes. A new denial could once again bring bitcoin down.

I think that ETF desicion will be positive now. Government doesn't interested to block crypto at all. Many institutionals are going to use crypto. And government needs to control it, not refuse.

Now a days bitcoin hold a huge platform of cryptocurrency. So, if ETFs makes a negative impact that will be directly felt affect on crypto world. Then it’s will be  make contradiction to get accepted from SEC.

Actually, none can say what is going to happen in the future as applies to Crypto-market. ETF most probably is going to make a positive impact rather than it can make negative on its own in the market. ETF hype making market rising BTC prices and if got approved it may cause a large number of industries investing in BTC. More we can wait and see for now.

The latest ETF decision remains virtually without a negative impact on the market. The price remains at a similar level before the decision was announced. Bitcoin is doing quite well without ETF.

I agree with you, The ETF Decision may cause a hype on bitcoin and may be the result of the price increase but it will also fall when it is over. Rightly you said sir!

ETF can make Bitcoin an even more scarce asset and would likely drive the price much higher. Therefore, those who use Bitcoin as a currency should be happy with the decision as removing such a large number of Bitcoin from circulation will make it even less stable and subject to being controlled and manipulated by instructional money.

You cannot be more wrong! The ETFs will make volatility even worst, because a lot of these investors have Billions of Dollars to

influence the Supply & Demand. The institutional investors have access to large amounts of Fiat and they can dump as quickly

as they can buy in large quantities. The spikes might be much bigger and more frequent, than what it is now.  ::) This is why

I was one of the people that was glad in a way that the ETFs were not approved.  :P

the approval of ETF can not have any negative impact, even the Futures markets didn't have a negative impact in my opinion despite what some people say.
it is all like an approval of bitcoin in first place and then it will attract more money into bitcoin. even if a small part of that money realizes the true nature of bitcoin (as a decentralized currency not just an investment) we can see a big growth in its future.

even its rejection wouldn't have a negative impact exactly. it would be a temporary drop in price only and nothing else. we never had ETF in the past 9+ years and if that doesn't change we wouldn't mind it one bit!

I think there's no negative impact from our side (Cryptocurrency owner)
It will be a "jumping stone" for bitcoin and world will know bitcoin more and think bitcoin more valuable than before

I believe that if Bitcoin approves EFT it will have a positive effect. By doing so, Bitcoin will improve the IC, the field will increase, the growth rate will increase. Investment security will be much higher than before. As a result, people will be interested to invest more than ever before.

The ETF decision will not have any negative impact on the bitcoin. I think it will have a more positive effect. Bitcoin fields will expand. People's interest will increase, they will increase the investment. Bitcoin will provide better services than before.

Many crypto enthusiasts are sure that the decision on ETF Bitcoin will only contribute to the growth of the Bitcoin price and the popularity of other cryptocurrencies. Negatively, only the refusal of SEC to accept ETF Bitcoin, but only slightly lowering the price of Bitcoin, can be reflected. In general, the growth of Bitcoin's popularity continues.

Yes I believe some people will use this news for gain a profit. They will dump the market and then buy at low price. Very easy to make FOMO in the world of cryptocurrency. I suggest in this situation we follow the rules, but if you want to hodling that's not bad choice.

In my opinion, SEC will definitely sanction Bitcoin ETF, and this sanction will not have any negative impact on the crypto market. Demand for BTC will keep growing because of the hype created by the recent news.  :'(

I believe that there will be no negative effect when talking cryptocurrencies and ETF since this will boost the bitcoin price and as we all know that if bitcoin grows then the altcoin will benefits,maybe the effect for the alts will take long but it will still.and besides why need to look for negativity when all we aim is positive as this eas denied for more than half year now

I think ETF will bring institutional investors which should facilitate adoption, if the big players are in those sitting on the fence will reconsider thier position.
Either ways, crypto needs both ETF and mainstream adoption. Whichever comes first is still a crypto win.

No there won't be any negative impact as this bitcoins etf was always going to be rejected as it was not properly submitted there were many loopholes and the main etf is of cboe that'll be in March 2019, which is expected to pass and there won't be any issue to that and when it does pass it'll take prices of bitcoins to the roof so wait for it.

It will have a positive iimpact. ETF approval can persuade more people to invest. But with or without etf bitcoin will continue to rise and nothing can change that.

The decision can crash bitcoin if they make any negative decision against  bitcoin. they control the foreign exchange and  they have the abilty to crack down exchanges .Their act alone will scare investors away from trading in bitcoin . the negative impact  will not be good for us all.

I don't think ETFs will have a bad effect on the bitcoin price on the contrary I think it will cause more interest in It.

bitcoin has the popularity and it's been trading all over the world. this will not need any approval from SEC or ETF as the investors will patronize this coins for better profits. With or without ETF this technology will continue.

          What ever happens Bitcoin will stay as usual as a global currency that means with or without ETF, Bitcoin will remain even ETF is approved or not . Bitcoin will continue its growth by merchants and customers and the value of Bitcoin will rise . In short ETF is a short time hype there are two types of ETF , the synthetical and physical ETF  . the synthetical ETF holds any physical asset and plays on the price fluctuation and physical actually holds physical assets .

So do you want volatility or stability? Sounds just like you want to profit from it in the short term just by trading which you can do with or without this, but I can't believe you're looking for negatives with the ETF decision. The ETF is great for bitcoin both in short and long-term. More adoption is better for everyone and bitcoin as a whole and this is what everyone should want, but it's not the be all and end of bitcoin adoption and there are bigger things than this down the road. Regardless of how short-lived or not the hype is it's something that is out of our control anyway, but it's certainly not a bad thing.  

Bitcoin in fact can survive without this ETF and it's actually just a new way of whales on how they manipulate the market. They're like using this issue to create fuds to people and every denied application means more people who will lose trust to bitcoin as so they'll dump. The delay on approval on ETF can push through any time this year, as long as the whales isn't done to accumulate.

And the moment we are used to this ETF issue and they see we're not that affected, they surely do something new.

Obvious ETF decision make negative effects on crypto price. recently there was an event in which etf rejected for regulation.
This news made tension in the investors mind.

Yes, most of the people got FUD because of the ETF deadline and I don't know why. Due to the ETF got rejected somedays ago, I hope ETF can't affect bitcoin again.

In the near future, crypto money will be the most common payment method. the volume is low for the moment. As the volume grows, the ups and downs will be slower. because buying and selling will take up less space in volume.

No I don't think it will have a negative impact but rather a catalyst that will decide the market in history, but still yet let us not forget that every good thing will always comes with some deficits

It seems that the ETF's decision does not have a bad effect on the growth of bitcoin, bitcoin is expanding and many people will be using bitcoin.
ETFs can still learn bitcoin to be able to make the best decisions.

I agree with you, ETF are only bitcoin bullies, and I am sure that after ETF agree that the price of bitcoin will fly high ... a year of bitcoin has dropped and now is the time to rise slowly.

Yesterday's ETF did not have a negative impact on bitcoin, the refusal of yesterday's ETF did not significantly change the price of bitcoin
but the story will be different if the ETF some time ago passes and is accepted, maybe the BTC price will rise by 50% and now it might be in the range of 10k USD
so the reason why ETFs can cause bitcoin prices to improve is because more people will start to recognize cryptocurrency

No one needs ETF to recognize bitcoins, most who are interested are already familiar with the concept and the technology.
ETF is an avenue for investors to enter the cryptocurrency space, indirectly. They'd be holding traditional shares and stocks which would represent it's worth in bitcoin.
It is believes that it would attract institutional investors.

lol, i didn't even know there was an ETF rejection yesterday. that is how the hype of ETFs are dead right now which is what i have been saying for a couple of months now. the hype was hot only about 6 months ago when people were still hopeful for their approval which is why it had negative effects but they all have given up that hope already.

The rumors are that ETF's will be bringing large amounts of investments into Bitcoin, but there are no guarantees for that. These investors are very cautious about their investments, not like Bitcoin supporters that will hodl when there are a 80% fall in the price.

As soon as there are the slightest bad news in the media, these investors will pull their investments from these Bitcoin ETFs and we will see mass panic situations a lot more.

I would much rather have investors that are knowledgeable about Bitcoin than a bunch of trigger happy profit hunters.  ::)

It is a new aspect of crypto/stock combination which will be in trial from next year first quarter. I personally do not know much about how it will impact on the crypto market but I am feeling that it will positively impact on the crypto market. It has been what all crypto enthusiasts have been waiting for to aid the rally the market.

Obviously the ETF decision can make a huge negative affect on bitcoin if things doesn't go well and also huge positive impact if all things go well so it's like a two way path thing

However I feel the path is already chosen. There are big whales manipulating the market, unregulated trading of crypto and the traditional investors are aware of this. So if an ETF was accepted it would not become a popular thing among them to invest in.

It might cause an immediate pump due to some over enthusiastic bagholders of crypto (not traditional investors) and then gradually dump and bleed out. Unless there are more clear regulations put on crypto or legal systems being used to enforce trades there wont be any good effect of the ETF.

With or without ETF things will work out for cryptocurrency on the long run but actually if ETF do come in place things with work out faster for cryptocurrency in general ,same thing goes to bakkt too this will have positive impact on cryptocurrency adoption

Depending of the outcome of the ETF around early 2019, it could have a positive impact on cryptocurrency market if Bitcoin application is accepted. Those currently sitting on the fence regarding crypto will finally jump in to invest in crypto. That means more adoption.

It is likely that after the adoption of the ETF market will go up. But I would not be so sure. Institutional investors are interested in stabilizing the market. Therefore, prices may remain unchanged.

No to etf decision would make a limited negative impact. But it is not permanent because there is no etf right now. But yes to etf could bring lots of value to bitcoin because it means a big market is entering into bitcoin.

I guess the SEC decision about ETF will affecting the price of cryptocurrency in the market.
There is a chance that the price will skyrocketing, but there is a possibility for the price to falling if the ETF rejected.
Anyway, although there are several factors that can affecting the crypto price, the SEC decision is the one of the factors.

not only for ETF, but all big instance can also make the negative or positive impact for bitcoin if they tell about something new about bitcoin it will very affect the bitcoin condition. fake news and real news always affect the bitcoin

nope, it would rather boost up investing.

I don't think ETFs can cause negative consequences. After all, its adoption will allow all major investors to trade bitcoins freely under the control of the regulator. This should have a positive impact on the market.

I think the ETF may not have a negative impact. After all, its adoption is on the contrary good news for investors. Perhaps it will not bring rapid growth of cryptocurrency, but it will definitely change the market for the better, I believe.

The market is affected by news but the weight-age of that news is also important. Some news will manage to move the market by a greater extent  than other news. Its what the effect of psychological impact the news has on people's minds for those who are into the market. Its better to let the ETF be as it is. If it gets accepted well and good, if it does not well nothing to worry.

Better get up with knowing the news on the market before commenting my friend. Previous ETF denials affected the market badly as per popular demand. To what extent they were influenced by those specific news is still a matter of debate.

Yes ETF decision can impact negatively on price of cryptocurrency, because it will lead to generate negative perception in the people mind and we have seen how panic selling took place recently when negative news came. any BAD decision can ruin the price of bitcoin.

What if it's about approval, I guess it would go the other way.
ETH has been a hot topic last year, we got disapproved, the decision was postponed, but this year I have a feeling that it will be approve.
SEC already had given a lot of time to review, and this year they will make a decision, their positive answer will result to a positive market.

In Feb 2019 they are more than 20 ETFs awaiting for approval we can see the market react positively and turn to bull run thereafter

The effect of the news may not be directly related to the market movement. People say so but how much weight-age a news has on a price is still debatable. An ETF being delayed did seem to move the market temporarily or it could be manipulated by whales who were tipped off about the news. Dont take everything to be connected here, even though it may seem so.

A bad news does negatively affect the market but there may be other factors as well. Do no listen to what the news always says because they are heavily incentivised to tell those news.

Yes this can influence investors decision making as this is a talk of legality about bitcoin or cryptocurrency. If bitcoin will not be adapted by the government then for sure it could no longer work on for good and people will dump bitcoin anyway because it has no real value and only users or people can dictate the certain market price of bitcoin with their demand and the supply of bitcoin or any of the crypto.

of course it can. I don’t understand why everyone decided that it would have a positive impact on the market because there’s nothing good in it

If etf get approved there is not a single reason it can make a negative impact. If dismissal still, it can be approved in the future so very limited negative impact.

If there is positive news about futures, then this can in no way have a negative impact on the market.

Etf decision can be a sensitive reaction for cryptocurrency traders the most important market decision from last many months hopefully this first quarter etf decision turn positive and mark a bull rally for investors

In my own humble opinion, I would say that nobody knows for sure the long-term effect of ETF to Bitcoin. On the short-term basis, there is a big possibility that the price of Bitcoin can go up wildly but it can be because of the excitement in the market that the approval can generate. Well, we are all hoping that it can be the start of the big bull run but there is no guarantee for that as things will eventually boil down to supply and demand which means that if ETF can be the medium for more demand then we can it can be really helpful and can be the game-changing factor we might be looking for Bitcoin. However, if institutional money will not reacting that much or if the level of reaction could not be sustained then it can just be short-lived kind of thing.

ETF Decision will make a big impact on bitcoin adaption and price. It will determine the future of bitcoin and digital currencies. People are waiting for the ETF decision from last six months and everyone is believing that ETF positive news will result in more adaption and it will increase more volume of bitcoin.

If the bitcoin etf  is not approved it will really be bad news for bitcoins and price may dump hard as everyone is expecting that etf will be approved and any negative news may not be easily digestible and may bring market more down.

Of course, many people are hoping for bitcoin and when the ETF decision is not what they expect, it could make them die of bitcoin and surely people will flock to sell their assets before the market gets worse. If the FUD can affect the market then what about the ETF's decision, of course it will have an effect

At first I want to say bitcoin will survive without ETF approval but since we never saw any better price shoting up last year December I'm actually starting to think bitcoin does needs ETF ,halving is still months away and bakkt has been postponed again but bakkt did drop huge millions and wall street do the same so we are actually progressive ,with ETF there will be huge changes for cryptocurrency

The approval of Bitcoin ETF by SEC will sure bring a positive impact on the bitcoin price. Investirs would feel more confident with the status of bitcoin being recognize by the government. While a disapproval will somehow bring a negative feelings again from investors, though the negative effect may cooled down in a short time.

Yes it does  .  people tend to  assume about the etf approval but if they know that etf didnt approve bitcoin , many people will felt so sad and depressed  but it cant affect the price because the price will still remain on what they are now . 

Now if etf got approved bitcoin   , i think it can bring positive effects to the price because the price can probably rise up  and this can also result for other people to invest more coins  .

I think that this decision will definitely not lead to negative consequences. There will be either positive consequences or nothing will happen. I think that everything will be fine and this decision will be a turning point for the market.

I think ETFs are very important for the continuity of current bitcoin prices, because if Bitcoin is approved by the SEC then Bitcoin officially becomes a legitimate trade on American exchanges. So if it is approved, I hope that it will cause Investors to come to buy Bitcoin, but if it is not approved, the price is likely to fall again.

The price will shoot up if ETF get approved but that doesn't mean it can't ever fall down again ,up and down is what makes cryptocurrency stable ,profits when high and buying at cheaper rates when low .

I think if SEC approve bitcoin ETF, the price will rising and daily transaction volume will growing bigger. ETF trading will leads big investor to cryptocurrency market and makes bitcoin holder more optimistic about bitcoin future. Good news will leads price increasing

I'm also expecting that but we all know that SEC is very hard to please and it feels like they are very allergic to cryptos. Just imagine that there are big ETFs last year that are all denied then I can't really imagine them approving at least one in this year.

I don't know if you have witnessed the rejection of the first Winklevoss Bitcoin ETF proposal in 2017. The market suffered after the news of rejection surface so obviously there are negative effects.


As this current situation, the market is really waiting for a significant news that can turn around the bearish sentiments, so for me it's possible that this Bitcoin ETF will be the catalyst if ever approved.

actually any news about crypto can have an influence on the market. including even ETFs, even though they can be approved at a later
time but rejection can certainly have a negative impact on the market. a lot of news that affects the market

If we think about the price, then it will surely help to increase the price of Bitcoin and maybe also other altcoins will grow.
But it will bring more big investors, more whales to the market and market will become more centralized, I think.

Many people do not realize this when they talk about the ETF. They forget the good it will eventually do the crypto business once it is put in place. I know for sure it will stabilize the market and make more investors come into cryptos. More.money will find its way into this business just like it did with gold etf.

Im afraid yes. If there are many speculators in bitcoin, then they may already bought bitcoin to sell them once the price rising due ETH approval.
But if SEC reject it in the future, speculators may selling their accumulated bitcoin, not just selling but dumping in the market i guess.

If the ETF is rejected by the SEC again this year, this may cause a new round of decline. I guess the possibility that the ETF will be rejected again is very high, we all know that most members of the SEC committee do not seem to support the Bitcoin ETF, it will take some time to convince the SEC members.

Yes, it is terrible if the Bitcoin ETFs are rejected by the SEC, because so far all traders are looking forward to it, so it's likely that the influence of ETFs is very important for the continuity of Bitcoin prices, I hope the Bitcoin ETF can be approved by the SEC.

I don't know about that, and if we take a look back, when ETF was a delay, it does not give a big impact for the market and I think people now are not too care about ETF. All people want to see is only when the time for bitcoin price can increase back so they can sell bitcoin at the highest price as in 2017 ago. But it could happen if many people panic because they think that something will happen after that, so it triggered the traders to make a sell order.

The chances of ETF having negative impact on cryptocurrency is huge ,cryptocurrency has been looking forward to its approval all 2018 and bakkt as well but this is still January and bitcoin has already recover back to 4000$ so its a good start,hope it get approved this February

ETF Decision will surely be accepted in the market as a good news and it will act as a fuel to pump the price as everyone wants ETF to be approved. I hope this time ETF is not delayed again, as it has been in the recent past where ETF Decision has been delayed twice last year.

The ETF makes any approval or non-approval decisions that affect the entire Cryptocurrency. But there is a lot of information given that ETF will not agree with this and I believe its adverse effects will create a lot of influence. But if it does accept, it will be a big push for us.

No, it can do only good in the short term.
The long term is  something else, and I would say that , lets worry about the long term if and when we get there.

If we talk about ETFs, there may be a lot of people waiting for decisions that will be made by ETFs, but so far there has always been a refusal of proposals submitted by Bitcoin and we see how it can impact market prices, because more people expect their assets and get bad results so many will sell these coins, but they are not solely because of ETFs because there is a lot of news that can affect the price of coins.

The decision of SEC over these ETF matters has a great negative impact on crypto. it is more visible when the ETF is rejected or postponed. We are all passionate about this ETF being accepted to stop a negative impact on crypto in general.

Well, last year ETF gives negative impact in the market because its not approved by the SEC and makes a delay on giving the final decision, so the market reacts on that negatively. Hopefully this year, we can hear some good news about ETF from SEC so it can bring positive trend, and the market pumps high again.

I think the SEC have done their bit in letting people down gently. They've been vocal for a long time about why the likelihood of anything passing is low and absolutely nothing has changed regarding their main doubts. If anyone's betting Junior's college fund on a yes then they're incapable of processing information.

The final no may rock the price for a short while but most should know in their hearts it's a no go for a long time to come.

Yes, it can negatively impact bitcoin, But  I think either positive or negative whichever impact the ETF's decision has on bitcoin will only be a temporary one, Bitcoin will always survive with or without the SEC's intervention.

Let's forgot about the approval, they won't simply allow it. Yes, in paper it looks like the proposal is really good and cover everything, however, they have rejected 9 ETF's already. So as long as the market is being manipulated by whales, we won't see any approvals no matter who submit it. So don't expect something big to happen so that you won't be disappointed.

Of course its give impact. even speculation someone can influence the market. moreover ETFs are a benchmark for the confidence of a commodity and stock. Approved ETFs can be a positive thing because it will certainly widen the market and make many investors believe in bitcoin..

yeah. so far there has been so much impact that the SEC has given to the price of bitcoin. maybe throughout 2018, this really has a big negative effect. well, I heard that this year there will be more decisions about that. I hope it doesn't have the same impact.

I don't think ETF authorize can have a negative effect on the current cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin and some altcoins have been there for few years, with up and coming headways of blockchain it is bound to continue as before or even develop in numbers later on. Si I think  ETF decision can make a negative impact on the crypto market.

Well, as far as the market is concerned, it will be beneficial for everybody. But what more good will it bring after that?

We can only speculate, look at it and do nothing about it.

- I agree with you, all information about this issue always talks a lot about the positive and benefits that it can bring to bitcoin after it is accepted and approved but that is only in theory, there is no evidence to prove that will come true. We only see a fact that the rejected information always appears and it always comes at the sensitive times of the market, it is enough for us to understand whales are creating this game, ETF is just a tool for them to control the price of the market and make people see this movement is reasonable and without manipulation but in fact, ETF is just fake, whales are the ones that create influence on the market, negatively or positively, all come from them

I think it is excluded. if they confirm futures, then this is unreliable positive news for the whole market

Actually volatile function movements up and down are opportunity to earn profits well risk if talking about buy and sell bitcoin traded of course need to expect the risk.
talking about ETF in my opinion there's nothing effect in bitcoin flows up or down bitcoin being decentralized crypto currency they own ability to moves itself as volitile virtual crypto currency.

Of course influential! price fluctuations are influenced by many things. as well as news about this ETF. when the ETF is rejected it will certainly make doubts and fears in the market and certainly make demand down. not only ETF but many things that affect up and down price..

It all depends on what the big whales want to do with the news outcome regarding the ETF decisions the SEC come out with. If they want to use the news as a way to pump or dump the market price of Bitcoin, then it will be so as we always know that the big powers that be use the Mass Media as a way to relay their message across and control and manipulate the market prices for their own benefit. As the market is very jittery and most of the herds react to the news, they are always at an advantage point regarding the price they want to reach at. Anyway I do believe it will have some bearing on the price and so the whales will use it to their utmost advantage.

I think that this will have a positive impact on the bit, but without ETF Bitcoin will be able to work in normal mode and trade on the exchanges, but if the SEC approves the ETF then it will come a lot of money and it will give rise to strong growth.

I think that the adoption of the ETF will say that Bitcoin has become more legalized. Therefore, I think that the ETF will positively affect Bitcoin.

Whether there is an ETF or not the functioning of bitcoin will not be altered. Its something that will increase the adoption of bitcoin for trading by institutional investors but not necessarily increase the price. Price rise is just secondary to this. Dont expect the SEC to approve it so easily. The public name of bitcoin has been related to ponzis, scams, drug dealing and so on. Not that fiat is away from that but still people will deny the inevitable because they dont care about it.

What we can do is speculate or let it be. Dont be bothered to much about ETFs.

No one can say what the outcome will be ,as I'm viewing things it seem like ETF will have positive impact after all but the impact won't last long,that doesn't mean bear won't return

Yes right, every good news will definitely have an impact on prices in the market, and vice versa, if there is bad news, the price will be bad too, so both have opposite sides. But all that will happen just for a moment, and the price will return to track as usual.

The decision of ETFs gives added value to bitcoin, namely increasing public confidence, because ETFs are traded like ordinary shares on the stock exchange. This trust will gradually change the way people perceive bitcoin, where bitcoin is part of the future digital financial system.

but, if many people expect ETFs, I think that will certainly have a lot of impact. I think the delay that occurred in 2018 yesterday had a pretty severe impact on the price of bitcoin and altcoin. well, maybe right now it's very difficult to have an impact anymore, because many people have guessed the results. however, I think many are waiting for the opportunity to increase the price of bitcoin and altcoin because of this.

Each regulation can change every place of investment and will have a positive or negative impact depending on the decisions issued by the relevant agencies.

Each regulation can change every place of investment and will have a positive or negative impact depending on the decisions issued by the relevant agencies.

ETFs are basically securities that are bought and sold through brokerage companies or stock exchanges. At least with the receipt of bitcoin ETF can make every investor have a convenience such as having relatively low costs, measurable risks and layered supervision. I guess this is what makes every cryptocurrency investor have more hope for ETF to be accepted.

expectations doesnt add anything on the price not unless they continue buying or selling depending on their mood  .

  the guy above was also correct because no one exactly knows on what will be their decision it maybe yes or no  but then again the price can still be the same though it is considered a good news if ever etf will approved btc  .

 if ever they declined it then theres no hard feelings at all because they arent the only one that can invest on btc  .

many potential investors out there that can enter btc anytime  of the day   .

If ETF response will be negative we might see a new temporary price correction as market doesn't react well at negative news.

If you're in cryto for long-term, just hold your coins, ETF will be approved sooner or later.

Bitcoin price last year affected by negative news and i think if ETF approved by SEC, bitcoin price will start to bullish. Any good news and negative news give big impact on crypto price and i am believe many good news will come this year

That is one of the reasons why the price is down right now and it should also be the reason to rise.
SEC approval is a big thing that is why it has a significant effect on the market movement, last year was all about negative things, let's
hear some positive things this year.

Yes, in my opinion the ETF is very influential to the progress of Bitcoin prices, so when the ETF is rejected again, it is likely that prices will decline again, because for now traders are waiting for the SEC's decision to be approved, so that the Bitcoin price will rise.

Maybe yes or maybe no, as we knew that bitcoin was been denied several times and still the movements still the same, fluctuations and manipulations will still be there, whatever directions bagholders wants this industry to go, same thing will still happen unless new investors will join and make the difference and start making the bull to run back after the ETF.

So far this year 2019 hasn't show any good sign of greater future and can't wait to see what turns up ,it looks like nothing is going to happen and it won't look too different from 2018 ,I think the only way to turn things around is GOOD NEWS, just few of them will have a good impact of cryptocurrency ,ETF is a must if we want to atleast see a different improvement this year

The effects would probably be minimal whether it's an approval or denial. Many don't even think bitcoin needs an etf approval aside from a short repreive from all the bad news we've had.

yes, I am afraid, this will bring huge negative impact on crypto industry and market.

I think most would agree that its very influential. But that's not the only thing that can make prices drop or decline. other factors play a role so I wouldn't say that if ETF is rejected prices will drop drastically

It already did have a negative impact when the markets crashed previously though I still doubt it was only because of ETF denial/delay. This gave new strength to the bears and we saw what happened to the market as it crashed from 6k back to 3k and now roving around the 3.7k mark. How much people are enthusiastic about future seems to be less important to the people than the short term gains.

This is not what I expect from the hodler community and its sad to see things escalate like this. You all are supposed to be hodl through thick and thin without caring about ETF approval.

Only sick people make ETFs as bad news. No ETFs do not mean the end of the world. Even now there are hundreds of exchanges that trade in bitcoin and hundreds of companies that invest in bitcoin and hundreds of stores that accept bitcoin for payment transactions. If indeed the ETF is received by the SEC, that's good news. However, if rejected, it should return to the next year. :D

I read that bitcoin ETF will give the investors the opportunity to invest over the long term in bitcoin without the need to buy the coins directly. Because you're not the one to manage it, it eliminate the problems of managing your digital wallets.  The possible reaction in whatever SEC decision on bitcoin ETF will be up to the investors, if this turn out to be positive for the crypto community, the result will be a bullish market.

If the governments of the states do not take measures to regulate Bitcoin, then Bitcoin will not be volatile. However, now in any case there will be a rise in Bitcoin after its fall. Therefore, while there is an opportunity, you need to have time to take this movement. Personally, I buy Bitcoin and a few more currencies now.

I think that immediately after making a positive decision, prices may grow temporary. On the one hand, this is a great opportunity for everyone to sell their Bitcoin at higher prices, on the other hand, such a decision should really attract new investors.
Since now none of us don’t know any details, it’s hard to even talk about how exactly Bitcoin ETF will affect the bidding process. So if such a decision will be made, then we will be able to find out all the details only after that.

You understand the fact that what you are saying is not possible for a government and not any person to do. Bitcoin cannot be regulated. Thats it.

Good thing to do. But dont tell this as financial advice though. Keep it non-biased non financial. ;D

Thats the reasons people are getting so sensitive over the ETF postponement/delay. They were all hopeful of a bullrun this year beginning and now the ETFs got delayed. So those who were hoping to sell at the pump due to the ETF could not do so and sold off at a lower price. Thats what propagated the panic selling at 6k USD in my opinion.

Definitely, there will be price jump in the market once the ETF is approved by SEC. The announcement will trigger off the bull rally that we have been expecting. This will be in an index form that is derivatives of the stock though based on crypto. It will still follow what is happening in another index trading with SEC. The bottom line is that it will make bitcoin more popular and increase in demand.

Now the Bitcoin ETFs are definitely denied for the moment, but the price seems to remain stable at 3500 dollars like the last month. Probably we won't see a bitcoin ETF before 2020...

Amazed at seeing the amount of capitulation that has happeneed in the minds of the people. One day people did not even care about the traditional market and thought bitcoin to be a cultish currency for buying weed and now they are taking it up to SEC to get ETF approved. Get your informed first, ETFs are no going to get approved anyway for now.

Exactly the reason why people are panicing so much and having anxiety and bouts of depression. Good income for the psychiatrists though. ;D

We should focus more on organic growth promotion than trying to beat a dead horse.

Last year rejection of ETF products did not cause any fall down of the market price in which i guess that the crypto currency users are not interested of ETF anymore but still i want to see if there is positive impact if ETF will be accepted this year that it might trigger the bullish market as i belived that it will invite millions of investments making Bitcoin to become ATH again.

Bitcoin has survived to this moment, before the Bitcoin ETFs or SEC event came on. What I do not understand is that why continuing putting too much hope on what seems will take forever before being approved. However, I pray for its approval as it will mean a great for the crypto community and the world at large. Just that we should be prepared for either outcome.

I think ETFs will have a positive impact on bitcoin investment because crypto investors do not need to manage their own ownership, but there are special companies that are engaged in trading or long-term investments so that they are more professional.
However, ETF approval has not been clear so that the possibility of being rejected for now is greater, perhaps for the future where digital finance has dominated this can be done.

Came back here to say that it has a positive effect and the positive speculation is once again alive.

This recent news "SEC Commissioner Says Bitcoin ETF Will Be Approved ‘Eventually’ makes everything looks green.

Hopefully it will take place as soon as possible.

Wow,  it give us hope and it may reborn the market.  It surely makes huge changes in the trend and could be way to bring back those people who left crypto behind from struggling and fighting dips. Though we can't expect for quick response from the market but it will make a way to win against the odds.

Even the negative impact is not that too bad some people will still use it to manipulate the market. ETF's are so overhyped and some whales use to take advantage, market is not making organic growth that way because we are only after the approvals and hype.

Of a truth that is the beauty of this market.  It most be manipulated for those manipulators to make money from the market and since we know that the market will be maniputed the best thing to do is to understand what the whales are doing and invest along with that.  ETF rejection or approvals is going to affect the market as people and the whales will always like to take the advantage of the market.

Well i think the approval of Bitcoin ETF would rather be a positive impact on the crypto market other than a negative impact. Consider just recently when news about a possible approval of Bitcoin ETF was announced, bitcoin rose about $200 within some few minutes. The final approval of Bitcoin ETF would definitely bring great news to the crypto community.
