Bitcoin has been officially approved by the US Stock Exchange – on October 19, the world’s first trading of the Bitcoin Strategy ETF was successfully launched in New York. In two days of trading, Bitcoin assets managed by the exchange-traded fund exceeded $1 billion. The Bitcoin Strategy ETF thus became the first US exchange-traded fund to be officially approved for Bitcoin contracts.

Bitcoin is gaining ground! BTC price is on the move again, hitting its highest level since mid-May. It peaked at $50,270, adding 3% on the day. It has recovered more than 72% since June. The crypto asset’s overall market valuation is currently at $942 billion. This could be a sign that the “capitulation period has ended and the market is back on solid ground,” Coin Metrics wrote in a Tuesday newsletter.

On-chain data shows long-term BTC holders are back in accumulation mode after the recent shake-out.

During an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Anthony Scaramucci compared Bitcoin’s future to Amazon shares. “Bitcoin is 12 years old. Amazon shares had a 64x return on your money from 2009 to 2021 after the 12th year,” Scaramucci said, noting that nobody expected Amazon shares to soar up in the next dozen years. They have actually surged more than 3,600% from the company’s IPO in May 1997 to May 2009.

It seems that the new preferred store of value appears in the financial arena. As the price of Bitcoin is getting closer to $59,000, its value in relation to gold is approaching new all-time highs! Measured against gold, the price of Bitcoin recently reached 34.94 ounces. It has more than doubled in the past three months and nearly sevenfold since October 2020.

The traditional financial landscape has drastically changed so far and a growing number of institutional investors are flocking to Bitcoin. Some of them like the stock market bulls are cooperatively purchasing the largest amount of BTC assets.

Despite the recent fluctuations in the Bitcoin rate, its position in the market remains strong and allows us to make positive forecasts. In particular, it can be expected that in the nearest future people will hold Bitcoin instead of investing in stocks, bonds, or real estate.

Bitcoin has come a long way since its inception in 2009 and now we can see the latest sign of its adoption on Wall Street. Institutional banking powerhouse Morgan Stanley will give accredited wealth management clients access to BTC investing. It will be the first big U.S. bank to make such an offer.
