The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) postponed the decision after losing the legal battle in the Grayscale Bitcoin ETF case last week to prevent further conjecture. The SEC's deliberations delayed the approval of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds until October of this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He discussed the Grayscale ETF case and what the SEC would do in the future, given that they cannot act on a dime and must proceed cautiously with appeals. During the interview, the CIO of Valkyrie, Steven McClurg, provided insightful commentary on the potential outcomes of the approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-in-october-will-bitcoin-etfs-be-approved\">In October, Will Bitcoin ETFs Be Approved?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The interviewer asked Steven, the Chief Executive Officer of Valkyrie if there would be a significant change for the ETFs to be approved in October and what that would imply for the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steven responds, &#8220;I would actually give a greater than 50 % chance that we get an approval (for Bitcoin ETFs) sometime in October. Now that\u2019s probably closer to 50 %, but I do believe that at the end of the day after the approval happens you still have to wait for a 75 days statutory window for the S1 to get approved that still puts you 75 days out, but I believe the day is going to be sometime in Q1 next year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Significant Could ETF Be Regarding Valkyrie Speech?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><br><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/stevenmcclurg?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">McClurg<span class=\"wpil-link-icon\" title=\"Link goes to external site.\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 5px;\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"height:16px; width:16px; fill:#000000; stroke:#000000; display:inline-block;\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:svg=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><use href=\"#wpil-svg-outbound-7-icon-path\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> responds that the possibility of ETF is highly material. He stated that Bitcoin is now primarily held by retail investors. Financial Advisors represent a more significant proportion of investment capital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Institutional investors, pension funds, endowments, sovereign funds, and insurance companies represent 80 percent of the market's investment capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investments involving institutional investors require a regulated investment vehicle instead of crypto exchanges. The aspect of regulation ensures that investors will not be harmed. In addition, McClurg mentions institutional investors, pension funds, sovereign funds, and endowment funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire business community anxiously awaits the SEC's next move. Will the ETFs be approved, or will the SEC find a means to delay the ETF approvals in October once again? This is the question on the minds of all investors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steven McClurg, the Chief Investment Officer of Valkyrie, stated that the probability of Bitcoin ETF approval in October is above 50%.
