You should read my previous post and maybe some things would be clearer to you. It is not necessary for us to have mediators, "everyone" can buy / sell
BTC in a way that it registers on desired exchange which supports BTC/fiat pairs and buy coins. Or simply go to BTC ATM and buy coins on that way (usually the most expensive way) or use LocalBitcoins and maybe find yourself in person with someone to trade.

But for all mentioned experience is needed, and that is something what most potential investors unfortunately do not have. If there is exchange-traded fund which offer them to buy/sell/store BTC for them, they just need to have the money and the desire to invest. In this specific ETF any shares must be backed by real BTC, so if investor decide to buy 100BTC they will have to be bought. In the event that demand for such investments become significant, the law of supply and demand should cause a very likely increase in price of BTC.

ETF stands for "Exchange Traded Fund" which means that it is a security that tracks a fund or "bundle of assets". Similar to a mutual fund in some ways, and ETF gets traded just like a stock does. This makes it prone to daily price fluctuations, but is a great vehicle for traders as there is high liquidity and low fees.

The ETF fund itself actually OWNS the underlying asset and then divides that asset up into individual shares. This gives investors the opportunity to invest in the asset without having to actually hold it themselves. Basically it is an indirect way to invest in something without having to manage it or hold it yourself.

ETF in combination with futures markets could be a great step towards mass adoption of BTC and crypto as its own asset class as it would allow more retail investors to enter the market while having the right advice from the licensed broker selling such assets.

So many news for ETF and SEC this week? how can happen after 10 th august?

It's just manipulation of the price and nothing more.

i reply this because another news is coming for decision on CBOE ETF by SEC in 30th September..Is this another manipulation?

ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) is funds (pooled investment) traded on the exchange. This is liquid security (can be easily converted into cash). This is security (usually part) that only tracks indices a basket of stocks or commodities.

A full SEC approval will literally kick the door for traditional investors who want to diversify and put their hands on a market that offers relatively high profits and that will make them want to pour large amounts of cash into ETFs and put a portion of it. directly to Bitcoin itself.

This will cause a price increase, it should. It sounds too simple to be true, but that is what will cause the extraordinary demand for Bitcoin that comes with limited inventory, in turn, will result in a price spike until market forces find balance.

"We" don't need mediators. But there are a lot many out there who need them. Take the case of pensioners. They are not very comfortable with the idea of purchasing Bitcoin from the unregulated exchanges and storing them in online wallets. An ETF would be of immense help for them.

ETF is nothing but exchange traded fund if it is approved means then we can use bitcoin in bank itself. New concept to look and pitch in. A good option launched to have good trades. When looking into it, choose the best coins to invest and increase the capital and multiple the investment.

ETF = Exchange-Traded Fund

Let's understand the Bitcoin ETF meaning - The Bitcoin ETF will be the fund where the underlying asset will be Bitcoin. The Bitcoin ETF will provide the retail investors an opportunity to buy Bitcoin directly through the stock market, without actually owning it.

If you buy a Bitcoin ETF, then you don’t have to worry about its technical challenges like maintaining a Bitcoin wallet, buying Bitcoin and keeping it safe as well.


In spite of being one of the highest return invetsment assets, cryptocurrencies are still not part the mainstream invetor’s portforlio. The Bitcoin ETF can help to achieve this. It can help to increase the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies. That’s why the crypto community is more optimistic about it. The Bitcoin ETF approval can boost the Bitcoin price as well. Some market observers speculate that bitcoin ETFs could drive the Bitcoin price as high as $35,000.

If before the news about ETF the price rises sharply, then there will be acceptance.

this topic is delayed again, some news says final decision of ETF is on 26th October or two weeks again. see this article https://cointelegraph.com/news/us-sec-sets-october-26-deadline-for-reviewing-nine-bitcoin-etf-applications?utm_source=telegram0&utm_medium=social

It didn't and it is unlikely it will

At least, not until Bitcoin becomes a real thing in the real world. Technically, it already is but the number of people for whom it is the real thing is small

Basically, an ETF would allow computer illiterate investors to have exposure to the Bitcoin asset. So imagine that your grandma wants to invest in Bitcoin but she has no idea. Well, if an ETF gets approved, then in most banks she will be able to go there, tell them to "buy me X amount of BTC "shares"" and then she will have these sort of shares which represent BTC, which the bank controls for her.

This is very incorrect if you want to be specific but it's how most people can understand it. So the fact that it will make it extremely easy for people to have exposure to BTC will attract massive amounts of capital which means very bullish news. All ETF attempts have been declined by SEC thus far.

This is incorrect but on a completely different level

The whole idea of these ETF's is about convincing institutional investors (read people with deep pockets) like investment or pension funds about Bitcoin's value. If SEC approves them, it will be a proof of worthiness, a kitemark of sorts, for the financial world. As I've written in one my earlier posts, these ETF's are not very meaningful and useful as such as anyone's grandma can just buy bitcoins directly (e.g. via Coinbase) without the hassle of going to a bank and then risking the fund of her choice collapsing with bitcoins disappearing into the sunset, which is not uncommon (recall the story behind LTCM)



To conclude, the game is mostly about luring into Bitcoin big fish, not anyone's grandma

ETF is just simplifying the BTC transaction processing so that all levels of the society have a common understanding, yeah that's s good move and it would create a wider scoop of market place and invite more capitalization and investment. And would surely increase demands and high value.

EFT is nothing but exchange traded fund, it makes easy for bitcoin transaction and used by all people.

[savioroshan]

ETF means exchange traded fund is similar like a common stock in a stock exchange. Bitcoin ETF is the easiest way to keep  your assets safe without scratching your head for the challenges it faces  like maintaining wallets and keeping the wallet under safe custody. Acceptance of bitcoin ETF result in mass adoption of the crypto currencies  in the market. It will soar the price of bitcoin again.

So, it means that ETF is nothing? Well, that is also in my mind that ETF approval is not getting an effect in the bitcoin price. Yes, it has a mass adoption but bitcoin had been already well known so I think no need for that ETF to be implemented. Stop worrying on ETF, bitcoin existed a long time ago without that ETF, so, probably(a little doubt) it will long last.

They say that there are lot of positive aspects in favor of Bitcoin if these ETF products will be approve by the SEC but when it was rejected, i have observed that there is no direct negative impact of the price market therefore for me we also don't know if there is really a good results if ever the SEC will approved the ETF therefore lets wait and see as it will be decided by this month of November.
