  • SEC approved the first bitcoin spot ETF, allowing mainstream investors to gain exposure to bitcoin through traditional accounts, representing a step towards legitimacy.
  • Bitcoin’s “halving” event in April 2024 will cut its new issuance in half, likely leading to a price surge as new supply tightens.
  • The ETF approval and upcoming halving make a strong case for bitcoin investment today, with estimated 34% price increase by April 2024 according to stock-to-flow models.

2024 is set to be a milestone year for bitcoin and the broader digital asset landscape. Key regulatory decisions and technical developments will likely transform both the supply and demand dynamics of bitcoin, shaping its potential role in fostering financial accessibility worldwide.

SEC Approval Paves the Way for Mainstream Bitcoin Adoption

A significant shift in bitcoin demand looms as the SEC recently approved the first spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). This opens the door for mainstream investors to gain exposure to bitcoin prices through their traditional investment accounts, without dealing with the complexity of cryptocurrency exchanges. The ETF format provides the benefits of greater liquidity and price stability. Moreover, SEC approval represents an important step in bitcoin’s path towards legitimacy in the eyes of established financial institutions.

April’s Halving Further Constrains Bitcoin Supply

On the supply side, bitcoin’s built-in scarcity mechanism ensures that its new issuance is cut in half approximately every 4 years. This event, known as the “halving”, is scheduled for April 2024. The mining reward will decrease from 6.25 bitcoins to 3.125 bitcoins per block.

Historically, bitcoin prices surge in the months and years following each halving as new supply tightens. Though the timing is predictable, it takes time for the market to find a new equilibrium.

Investment Implications

Taken together, the ETF approval and upcoming halving make a strong case for bitcoin investment today. Using a stock-to-flow model, the estimated value is $62,000 per bitcoin by April 2024, a 34% increase over today’s levels.

The stage is set for bitcoin’s transformative year in 2024. These dual catalysts of shifting supply and demand could cement its place as an accessible, mainstream digital asset.
