Swiss Bitcoin Regulation Driving American Regulatory Pressure?
Swiss BTC Banking Moves are Promising and Globally Competitive
With recent moves in Swiss banking and Bitcoin investment opportunities, the country and industry seems poised for positive action. The recent Swiss, and wider global crypto movements and larger trends toward institutional adoption - and disruption, at the very least - may put more pressure on the American SEC to approve a Bitcoin ETF in the coming months, if not tomorrow, with the decision on the ProShares Bitcoin ETF. The move may be necessitated by the need to maintain American institutional access and dominance within in the emerging cryptocurrency and tokenized asset spaces.
Investor sentiment in the United States is hungry for a BTC ETF, which many retail as well as institutional investors see as a resoundingly positive move for the price of BTC and the wider market as a whole, akin to when gold first became available through an ETF.
As of August 15, due to filing and legal technicalities, the Swiss-brokered CXBTF Bitcoin Exchange Traded Note is available, at a current price of $32.30. The asset tracks the price of BTC and is held securely in Swiss vaults.
If US financial regulators were to punt the ProShares decision as they have for the VanEck Bitcoin ETF, or it is denied such as the Winklevoss ETF, the BTC market will likely see another sell off. The SEC will decide on 9 BTC ETFs in the next two months, but the CBOE-backed VanEck BTC ETF is expected by some to be the first US approved BTC ETF. What do you think?
