What’s new? Venture capitalist, billionaire investor, and bitcoin supporter Chamath Palihapitiya believes 2024 could be the most important year for the first cryptocurrency. In a new episode of the All-In podcast, he noted that the approval of a large number of asset-based spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is likely to be a game changer for BTC.
What else is known? According to Palihapitiya, ETFs will allow a wider demographic to access BTC, which could eventually lead to mass adoption of the asset.
“We are probably days away from a series of ETFs being approved, and so this is the moment for Bitcoin to use that old term ‘cross the chasm’ and really see mainstream adoption where our parents and grandparents understand what it is,” the investor said.
Palihapitiya added that bitcoin would then become part of the traditional financial lexicon by the end of 2024. He called it his “most anticipated trend of the year.”
