Mathew McDermott, the head of Goldman\u2019s digital asset unit, in a recent interview with Reuters, downplayed the possibility of a rapid increase in Bitcoin prices following the approval of these ETFs by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). He believes that <strong>while the approval might not lead to an immediate spike in liquidity and price, it could draw new institutional investors.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>McDermott stated, <em>\u201cThis ability to actually transact a product that people are familiar with and can provide scale, I think is very positive.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Currently, Goldman Sachs offers cryptocurrency derivatives trading for its institutional clients. This service is part of the bank\u2019s FX desk, though they don\u2019t trade the underlying asset. McDermott noted a rise in client interest in crypto derivatives, spurred by the anticipation of the SEC approving spot bitcoin ETFs. Despite acknowledging that the crypto market is relatively small, he observed increased excitement and interest in it.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond cryptocurrencies, McDermott\u2019s focus extends to the broader spectrum of digital assets, including the development of blockchain-based tokens for traditional assets like bonds. He sees a significant and growing interest in digital assets and believes that blockchain technology can improve operational and settlement efficiencies, thereby reducing risks in financial markets.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cProbably within the next one to two years you\u2019ll see a big significant uptick in the quantum trading on-chain, probably three to five years to really see these marketplaces at scale.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>250% Extra +<strong> $125 Free Chip<\/strong>!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.
