James Van Straten, a research analyst at CryptoSlate, recently compared the history of SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) to the potential spot Bitcoin ETF. According to the World Gold Council, GLD was launched back in 2004 prior to the 2008 recession and has seen huge gains since then. Will Bitcoin follow a similar price appreciation if BlackRock’s ETF gets approved?
