Recently, Gabor Gurbacs, an advisor at Tether and the renowned investment management firm VanEck, has shared his perspective, offering a long-term bullish stance on the potential impact of a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) launch in the US.
This view particularly counters the common tendency of people’s short-term outlook of the impact of spot BTC ETF and not the long-term. Gurbacs noted as Gurbacs stated:
People tend to hype the current thing but remain myopic about the big picture.
Gurbacs emphasized that while the introduction of spot Bitcoin ETFs is often surrounded by short-term speculation, their real value lies in their long-term influence.
The advisor of VanEck suggested that initially, the launch of a spot BTC ETFs might result in a net inflow of $100 million, predominantly comprising reinvested funds from institutional players.
In my view, people tend to overestimate the initial impact of U.S. Bitcoin ETFs. I think maybe a few $100mm flows (mostly recycled) money.
Long term, people tend to underestimate the impact of spot Bitcoin ETFs. If history is any guide, gold is worth studying as a parallel. https://t.co/6vvkA9aC09

Gurbacs’ insights further pointed at a post uploaded earlier last month delving into the deeper implications of a US spot BTC ETF approval. Drawing parallels with gold’s historical financial market trends, Gurbacs suggests that spot BTC ETF approval could potentially unlock trillions of dollars in value over time.
