Yet, he also emphasized Bitcoin’s characteristic volatility

“If you go back to 2017, it (Bitcoin) was $1,000. We’re up 45x since 2017, but along the way, we’ve had two 80% drawdowns, a plethora – I can’t even count how many, you know, 30 plus per drawdowns. So Wall Street is saying, ‘Hey, the ETFs are coming, here we go.’ Now, I do think over a long period of time, Bitcoin’s price is going to continue to go up. We’re going to have a persistent bid from all these ETFs.”

The Clock is Ticking!

Regarding the ETF approval timeline, Pompliano speculated a potential window between January 8th and 10th. While noting positive indicators from the SEC, he also highlighted that unexpected delays could lead to heightened scrutiny.
