“The wave of optimism towards Bitcoin spot ETF continues as the approval window for its commencement begins. While the approval itself can take place as predicted by analysts which can push the token price beyond $40,000 (roughly Rs. 33 lakh), it will be a while before ETFs get launched for the public,” Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX told Gadgets360 while commenting on the market situation.
