Bullish crypto events in one region resonate across the globe. A recent survey featuring 2,100 respondents shows that Australian retail interest in Bitcoin has increased following January’s approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S.
Bitcoin sentiment — a metric that determines current investor sentiment based on trading events and market conditions — in Australia was boosted by 25% following the spot BTC ETF approval, while adoption rates also marginally increased in 2024.
Speaking about the rise in positive investor sentiment, Independent Reserve CEO Adrian Przelozny said that “Sentiment has demonstrably shifted,” adding that “we’ve entered a phase of renewed optimism and growth.”
While a third of respondents showed interest in investing in Bitcoin in the long term, they were split on whether they would prefer to access Bitcoin via a crypto exchange or ETF.
