The massive day for BlackRock’s fund came on the same day that a roster of spot Ether (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH</a>) ETFs was <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/spot-ethereum-etfs-begin-trading-sec-approval" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">approved for trading</a> in the US.
Industry analysts expect spot Ether ETFs to generate <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ether-etfs-sidekick-bitcoin-etfs-bloomberg-analyst" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">10% to 20% of the flows</a> that spot Bitcoin ETFs have been generating following their launch in January.
Meanwhile, several analysts who spoke to Cointelegraph on July 21 <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/what-joe-biden-withdrawal-means-crypto-bull-run" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">are bullish on Bitcoin</a> in the short to mid-term, citing <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/joe-biden-withdraws-united-states-presidential-race" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Biden’s last-minute dropout</a> from the presidential race and Trump’s heightened odds of an election victory as strong upside catalysts for the price of Bitcoin.
10x Research founder Markus Thielen <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/gary-gensler-resign-2025-biden-exit-white-house-10x-research" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">speculated there was a solid chance</a> Republican nominee Donald Trump could make a surprise announcement that he would make Bitcoin a strategic reserve asset at the upcoming Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville on July 25.
Thielen said this could trigger a “parabolic” move for the price of Bitcoin in the coming weeks.
Bryan Courchesne, the founder of crypto asset management firm DAIM echoed this prediction on July 22, saying there <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/asset-manager-trump-admin-bitcoin-strategic-reserve-asset" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">was a good possibility of Trump</a> enshrining BTC as a strategic reserve asset at the conference.
