A federal court ruling this week has increased the likelihood of a Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) launching by the end of the year. According to Bloomberg ETF experts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas, there’s a 75% chance that a spot market BTC ETF will launch by the end of 2023 and a 95% chance that one will launch by the end of next year. The ruling came after digital asset manager Grayscale won a lawsuit against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Grayscale had sued the SEC in June 2022, alleging that the regulatory body’s rejection of their bid to launch a BTC ETF was discriminatory. Seyffart believes the creation of a spot market ETF based around the top crypto asset by market is basically a “done deal” for 2024. Bitcoin is currently trading for $27,166 at time of writing, a 1.1% decrease during the last 24 hours.
