ProShares’ Bitcoin futures ETF is set to debut on the New York Stock Exchange. However, Bitcoin ETFs also face stiff competition. In October, the SEC received 12 applications for ETFs based on Bitcoin futures. According to media reports, four companies are lining up to advance their Bitcoin ETFs. A yet-to-be-launched ETF based on Bitcoin futures could attract more than $50 billion in inflows in its first year, according to Tom Lee, a prominent Bitcoin bull. Bitcoin price is still above $62,000. If BTC consolidates for multiple days in the $60,000-65000 range, it will further arise bullish sentiment.
