Social Media BTC Mentions Turn from Fear to Greed Ahead of Spot ETF Approval

"Historically, an increase in the 'bitcoin share of crypto mentions on social media' has been a sign of market fear, but the anticipation of the BTC spot ETF approval has reversed the interpretation to a greed indicator," analyzes crypto on-chain analytics platform Santiment. "After peaking before the spot ETF approval, this metric seems to have recently normalized, with BTC overtaking altcoin mentions on social media during this time. The decline in BTC mentions on social media in the first week of February suggests that BTC is being pushed out of the spotlight due to over-leveraging in the altcoin market."
