Fidelity Global Macro Director Jurrien Timmer recently Bitcoin He shared his views on the potential impacts of Spot ETF approval.

Jurrien Timmer: “Price Action Could Be Double-Sided If Bitcoin Spot ETF Is Approved”
According to Timmer, the percentage of Bitcoin held for at least five or even ten years continues to rise, indicating that these long-term holders are not waiting to sell on ETF approval news.
Timmer also highlighted some notable movements in the Bitcoin futures contract market. Timmer also shared a chart showing the number of Bitcoin contracts held in the “asset manager” category in the Commitment of Traders report (CoT) as defined by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). According to the manager, the chart shows a growing interest in BTC contracts, and Timmer thinks some of these positions are waiting for the SEC to take action. In this case, these position holders can sell futures to buy spot when the big announcement finally comes.
However, Timmer explained that this does not necessarily mean it will be a “sell the news” event, but it does suggest that the price action may be more bilateral.
Timmer also noted that any new news from the SEC would come at a time when macro data has made a U-turn from the liquidity-filled days of 2020-21.
