The firm referred to its research from September 2023, which foresaw a positive October for Bitcoin, driven by anticipation surrounding the potential launch of a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF).

As of now, with Bitcoin briefly surpassing $35,000 on October 24 and currently trading at around $34,692, Matrixport remains optimistic about the $45,000 target, citing the breakout over the $31,500 price level reached in July.

Galaxy Digital Envisions $14.4 Billion Inflows for Bitcoin ETFs in the First Year

In another development, crypto company Galaxy Digital has released a research report stating that the introduction of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) could potentially attract a substantial $14.4 billion in inflows within the first year.

Galaxy Digital suggests that ETFs could offer a superior investment vehicle compared to existing options such as trusts and futures, which currently account for over $21 billion in total value. In the second year, inflows may rise to $27 billion, and in the third, they could reach $39 billion.

Galaxy Digital highlights the immense potential of the U.S. wealth management industry, which holds $48.3 trillion in assets, as a significant market for Bitcoin ETFs.

The demand for such products is evident, as rumors and reports about ETFs have historically had a substantial impact on Bitcoin’s price. The introduction of spot ETFs could result in a 74% increase in Bitcoin prices within the first year, due to the liquidity and price effects of substantial investments.
