‘BIGGEST NEWS OF THE YEAR FOR BITCOIN’: ICE DEAL HELPS ETF CHANCES, SAYS BRIAN KELLY
That’s according to Brian Kelly, CNBC’s regular cryptocurrency commentator and BK Capital Management founder, who called the plans the “biggest news of the year” for Bitcoin. “This is huge news,” he told the network during an episode of its Fast Money segment Saturday. Kelly was speaking one day after ICE, which owns the New York Stock Exchange, confirmed its high-profile partnership to build a “global ecosystem for digital assets” with a slated launch date in November 2018. Together, the participants will create a digital asset warehouse for investors to “buy, sell, store and spend digital assets on a seamless global network.”
For Kelly, however, the event equally marks a watershed moment in the establishment versus cryptocurrency stand-off. Specifically, the seeming impasse in the US over regulators approving a Bitcoin ETF could be broken as a result of ICE. “[Consumers] will now have a U.S.-regulated exchange and they have a licensed warehouse, which is how commodities are stored and that’s going to make it a lot easier for an ETF to come through,” he said.
