Happy Birthday, Bitcoin!

On January 3rd, 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous creator of Bitcoin mined the first block of Bitcoin and now 15 years later, the cryptocurrency market has grown into a trillion-dollar industry with more than tens of thousands of different cryptocurrencies actively traded daily.

Bitcoin has also become a national currency (El Salvador) and is considered by many to be the "New Gold".

💡
At Altcoin Investor, we believe that 2024 and 2025 will be where we will see some of the biggest gains and market appreciation we have ever seen in the cryptocurrency market.

The Crypto Markets Are About to Go Wild

Google searches for "Bitcoin ETF" are at all-time highs, according to Google Trends

Search Term: Bitcoin EFT (Google Trends)

Rumors are circulating that an approval can happen as early as Wednesday meanwhile sources are indicating that Blackrock already has more than $2 billion lined up for the first week.

Coincidently, the SEC just sent a warning to investors not to FOMO into crypto. Could this be in preparation for the upcoming Spot Bitcoin ETF Approval?

When Will the Spot Bitcoin ETF Be Approved?

Whether the Spot Bitcoin ETFs happen next week or next month is not clear. What is almost certain is Spot Bitcoin ETFs will be approved and when they are the crypto market will go wild.

At Altcoin Investor we are taking a relatively conservative approach and believe the Spot Bitcoin ETFs will be approved anytime between January to March and when this announcement is made, Bitcoin as well as the crypto market as a whole will see some massive gains.

Shift into the Run-Up Phase

This announcement will also likely be the catalyst to shift the cryptocurrency market from the accumulation phase to the run-up phase, which is the phase the market typically sees some of the greatest gains.

If you still haven't allocated some assets into cryptocurrency it's still not too late. Bitcoin is an excellent choice, but where some of the greatest gains will be made within the small-cap altcoins.
