<p>As institutional interest in Bitcoin grows, Fidelity and BlackRock’s proposed spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) faces an unexpected hurdle: the crypto market’s unwillingness to let go of the coin at bargain prices.&nbsp;</p> 
<h2 id="bitcoin-to-60-000-in-progress">Bitcoin To $60,000 In Progress? </h2> 
<p>According to Mike Alfred, who claims to be a value investor and a board director, the market will “unlikely” allow BlackRock to purchase BTC below $60,000. Taking to X on December 4, Alfred <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://twitter.com/mikealfred/status/1731482383881539836" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">said</a> BlackRock and other Wall Street players keen on issuing spot Bitcoin ETFs would have to “buy for Boomer’s 401k plans for at least $60,000.”&nbsp;</p> 
<p>This preview stems from the rapidly growing demand among institutional investors, as seen by the number of Wall Street players willing to issue complex derivatives tailored for, among other investors, “baby boomers,” most of whom are “approaching retirement.” With their substantial retirement savings, baby boomers increasingly recognize BTC’s potential as a hedge against inflation and a store of value.</p> 
<p>Following Federal Reserve intervention during the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation rose to multi-year levels in 2021. To preserve purchasing power, the central bank began hiking interest rates. Although inflation has fallen and the economy stabilized, it remains higher than the target of 2%. The Fed continues to track this metric and may further intervene by raising rates to lower inflation. This might impact Bitcoin prices, as seen in the past months.</p> 
<p>Nonetheless, the potential influx of boomer money into Bitcoin via a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (<a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/cftc-files-lawsuit-against-voyager-digital-and-former-ceo-for-fraud/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">CFTC</a>) approved derivatives product is a big boost for the coin. Though the SEC has yet to authorize multiple spot Bitcoin ETFs, the crypto and Bitcoin market expects the strict regulator to greenlight the first product in the next few weeks.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Accordingly, ahead of this milestone development for the Bitcoin and crypto market, Alfred thinks BlackRock, Fidelity, and other players won’t secure Bitcoin at spot rates. Instead, the market anticipates that BlackRock, one of the world’s largest digital asset managers, will make their “bi-weekly purchases at prices above $60,000.”</p> 
<p>The coin is trading at April 2022 levels, ripping above $40,000 over the weekend as bulls step up. Looking at the BTC candlestick arrangement on the daily chart, the first clear resistance is around $48,000.&nbsp;</p> <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/x/An51VOS7/" rel="nofollow"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full" src="https://www.tradingview.com/x/An51VOS7/" alt="Bitcoin price trending higher on the daily chart | Source: BTCUSDT on Binance, TradingView" width="1233" height="592"></a> 
<p>The coin trades within a bullish breakout formation following gains above $32,000. As buyers step up and investors anticipate the SEC approving the first batch of spot Bitcoin ETFs, the coin will likely continue increasing toward all-time highs of around $70,000.</p>
