I wouldn't take it as a biggest news around crypto in 2021. It's a generally positive news! I know VanEck is trying to get their ETF approved since 2017 but their requests have been declined by SEC every single time. This time it is a little different because now an exchange has filed an intent to list an ETF from a preferred service provider. So this time things may become a little more positive for VanEck.

Now SEC will have 45 days to either approve or decline the ETF request. This time it is a little different because in last few months Canadian government has approved multiple bitcoin ETFs. So as a strong ally of Canada, US regulators may think the matter in a different way this time. The best part is that VanEck's ETF will be a physical bitcoin ETF. So they will have a custodian who will hold the bitcoins for VanEck's trading. More institutional money means more liquidity.

Are we back in 2017?News about Bitcoin ETFs don't make me excited anymore.This ETF isn't even approved yet.
If it gets approved,then great,if it gets declined-who cares,there will be plenty of new Bitcoin ETFs.
Calling this "the biggest news for Bitcoin in 2021" is definitely a clickbait.


Bitcoin ETFs have little to do with mass Bitcoin adoption.The "average Joe" doesn't care about exchange traded funds.

I fell for the clickbait headline myself too. I thought all this ETF news already lost their appeal though? I mean, we were all so hot for it in 2019 but when the ETFs finally came on to market last year, the interest wasn't so high. Institutionals now want physical Bitcoin and they want it to hodl, I guess. ETFs at least not physically settled ones, not so interesting for them now.

It isn't that big for anyone but I guess some people might consider it. I agree that this big news for bitcoin in 2021 is a instrument of growth for the next years. I guess this is just a stepping stone to a much bigger achievements that would definitely achieve someday. Bitcoin just only fueling the other goals that will achieve in the future. Bitcoin gaining many ATH this year is just an example of having a good background eventhough these past few weeks, bitcoin and as well as the other coins experience correction, I can say that it is just a good jump start to a even motr higher achievements.

Lol, another obvious click bait title.

As others have said, this is not the biggest news, there could be more in the next coming months that will push the price close to 6 digits. As for this news, not new, and I will say that community grew tired of this so called Bitcoin's ETF. In 2018, it was said that an ETF will really bring the market to a bull run, because that time we're in a bearish phase. However, after so many rejections, everyone totally forget about it and we have move on since.

Great news but only if it gets approved. We’ve had so many failed ETF attempts so far, why would this one be any different? The Fed hates bitcoin, I don’t see why they’d approve one. Really hope this could get approval though.

I don't think that's the biggest news for 2021, we're just about to enter the 2nd quarter of the year and there's more to go. If there will be the biggest news for this year.
I think that's about bitcoin hitting $100k and this news that you have shared, they've made it before and it's a big deal when we're in 2018 but this time, it's not a big news anymore.
