According to the report, these spot ETFs have opened the doors for more investors to engage in crypto trading through conventional financial channels. Additionally, with the increasing demand for these spot ETFs and the daily trading volumes reaching noteworthy levels, signaling growing investor interest in Bitcoin as an asset class, this could help propel the flagship crypto to trade above $60,000 by next month, according to the report.

Bitcoin halvings result in a reduction in the rate of new BTC generation, and historically, this leads to a decrease in supply, typically driving up Bitcoin’s value. Matrixport’s report also mentions the influence of macroeconomic factors on BTC’s price. The expectations of interest rate adjustments following the Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) gatherings are anticipated to have a significant impact. Furthermore, the forthcoming uncertainty surrounding the US presidential elections may instigate market fluctuations, leading investors to turn to alternative assets such as Bitcoin to safeguard against potential shifts in economic policies.
