VanEck Advisor: We overestimated the short-term impact of Bitcoin ETFs and underestimated the long-term momentum

Recently, Gabor Gurbacs, an advisor at Tether and renowned investment management firm VanEck, shared his views, expressing a long-term bullish outlook on the potential impact of spot BTC ETFs launching in the United States.
This perspective specifically counters the common tendency to view the impact of spot BTC ETFs as short-lived rather than long-term. Gurbacs noted: "People tend to get excited about what's happening right now, but still have a narrow view of the bigger picture."
Gurbacs emphasized that although the launch of spot BTC ETFs is often surrounded by short-term speculation, their true value lies in their long-term implications.
Gurbacs also stated that the initial launch of spot BTC ETFs could lead to $100 million in net inflows, primarily reinvestment funds from institutional investors.
He posted on social platform X: "In my view, people often overestimate the initial impact of U.S. BTC ETFs. I think there might be several $100 million inflows (mostly recycled capital)."
"Over the long term, people often underestimate the impact of spot BTC ETFs. If history is any guide, gold is worth studying."
Gurbacs' insights further reference an article uploaded earlier last month, which delved into the deeper implications of the approval of spot BTC ETFs in the U.S.
Gurbacs draws parallels between historical financial market trends in gold and the current situation, believing that over time, the approval of spot BTC ETFs has the potential to unlock trillions of dollars in value.
Gurbacs' analogy between the gold market and BTC provides a compelling narrative, such as the significant rise in gold’s value following State Street’s launch of the first gold ETF in November 2004.
That event marked a pivotal turning point—over eight years, gold prices surged from $400 to $1,800, with market capitalization growing fivefold from $2 trillion to $10 trillion.
This historical evidence supports Gurbacs’ belief that BTC could follow a similar trajectory to gold after the launch of its ETF.
Gurbacs further analyzes that the approval of U.S. spot BTC ETFs will follow the "2004 gold blueprint," potentially triggering a similar exponential increase in BTC’s value.
Gurbacs envisions BTC securing a place within the global financial ecosystem, transcending short-term hype to establish lasting, long-term value.
Beyond his optimism for BTC ETFs, Gurbacs recently expressed bullish views on the future of stablecoins. He expects these digital assets to become the next major force in financial markets, potentially evolving into a multi-trillion-dollar market.
He wrote on X: "Investment vehicles evolved from stocks, hedge funds, mutual funds to ETFs—each created multi-trillion-dollar markets. What comes next? I believe it's stablecoins." Below are several attributes explaining why stablecoins have the potential to create the next multi-trillion-dollar market:
Gurbacs believes stablecoins possess unique characteristics that distinguish them from traditional financial instruments like stocks, hedge funds, mutual funds, and exchange-traded funds. These include low fees, easy accessibility, and commercial utility, positioning stablecoins not merely as digital assets but as key players in the future of global finance.
