Peter Schiff Explains Why Bitcoin Bulls Should Be Worried

As an experienced financial analyst, I have closely monitored the cryptocurrency market for years. Peter Schiff’s opinion on the potential bearish impact of approved Ethereum ETFs on Bitcoin is noteworthy but deserves a cautious interpretation. Schiff’s perspective is based on the assumption that investors who allocate funds to crypto will not increase their allocation to buy Ether with the money moving into Ethereum ETFs instead.


Expert: Peter Schiff, known as a “gold bug,” has cautioned Bitcoin supporters that the imminent acceptance of Ethereum spot ETFs could negatively impact Bitcoin.

Based on Schiff’s perspective, the majority of funds flowing into the Ethereum ETF are anticipated to originate from earlier this year’s Ethereum spot ETFs, which received significant attention. As for investors who have already allocated resources to cryptocurrency, they are unlikely to boost that allocation by purchasing Ether through this new ETF.

From my perspective as a researcher, U.Today announced that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) unexpectedly changed course and is now considering spot Ethereum Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), contrary to earlier expectations of rejection.
