Spot-ETF approval changes institutional accessibility and demand structure, often increasing durable inflows, lowering custody friction, and attracting allocators previously barred by custody or regulatory concerns. Medium-term, ETFs can raise baseline demand elasticity and reduce the free float available to retail, supporting higher equilibrium prices. Long-term effects depend on inflow persistence, fee structures, and whether ETFs compete with direct custody solutions; excessive concentration in ETFs could centralize custody risk. Additionally, ETF flows interact with derivatives positioning and borrow costs, altering market microstructure. Overall, approval tends to be bullish structurally by broadening the investor base, but magnitude and duration depend on adoption rates and macro liquidity conditions.
