Bitcoin (BTC-USD) surged past $42,000 following reports that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) could approve a spot bitcoin ETF in January. The crypto rally comes even as crypto lending firm Nexo faced SEC fines, though Nexo Co-Founder Antoni Trenchev remains focused on building out crypto infrastructure. Speaking to Yahoo Finance, Trenchev says the crypto market is sending "mixed signals" lately. Trenchev is optimistic in the long term as events in the crypto space, like Binance's settlement and hopefulness on a bitcoin ETF approval, illustrate different paths for regulation. He states the crypto shakeout after FTX's collapse has weeded out "weak hands," allowing resilient assets like bitcoin to rebound. With momentum regaining in the digital asset, Trenchev sees a spot ETF as increasingly attractive. He even predicts Bitcoin could reach $100,000.
