Summary
Galaxy Digital CEO believes the approval of a bitcoin ETF will accelerate crypto adoption due to rising US debt and the upcoming Bitcoin halving. While regulatory hurdles still exist, easier access to bitcoin via ETFs is expected to attract more investors. The SEC is set to rule on spot ether ETFs in May, but the process is slow. Novogratz is hopeful for industry growth with potential changes in SEC leadership and legislation in the future.
