South Korea to Approve Spot Bitcoin ETF in June in Billion-Dollar Market – $80,000 Next?

• South Korea is on the brink of introducing Asia’s first spot Bitcoin ETF, potentially revolutionizing the cryptocurrency market.
• Speculations arise on Bitcoin’s price potentially hitting the $80,000 mark with the new ETF approval.

In line with recent updates by CNF, South Korea is paving the way for Asia’s first spot Bitcoin ETF following a key meeting with SEC Chair Gary Gensler, potentially positioning itself in a trillion-dollar market. According to a BloomingBit report, the Democratic Party is preparing to leverage the commencement of South Korea’s 22nd National Assembly in June to request the Financial Services Commission (FSC) to reconsider regulations on spot Bitcoin ETFs, thereby potentially opening the market locally.

Legislative Push for Cryptocurrency Advancement

Following this pivotal development, the South Korean Democratic Party is set to propose a reevaluation of the legal framework governing Bitcoin spot ETFs. This legislative push, anchored in their promises during the recent general elections, aims to integrate digital currencies more thoroughly into the financial market. This is in the face of current limitations under the Capital Market Act, which does not currently recognize Bitcoin spot ETFs as valid financial investment products due to their basis in virtual assets.

“$80,000 Next?” Anticipating the Market Surge

The potential endorsement of Bitcoin spot ETFs could dramatically affect the cryptocurrency’s valuation. With Bitcoin’s price recently peaking at $62,645.38 and experiencing a notable increase of 4.07% in just the past week, market enthusiasts and investors are buzzing with predictions of it reaching the $80,000 milestone.

Should the FSC green-light the trading and listing of these ETFs, it could trigger a significant influx of investment, potentially driving prices to unprecedented levels.
