Yes, For anyone who will open this topic up in December 2018 and forward, this "etf rejected" is the old one not the new one and there is still time for SEC to decide on the next ETF. Saying that I still think they are playing with us like cat and mouse.

First of all, I have always said that even getting rejected by SEC about the ETF is great because it shows how much we matured and the market is becoming more legal and legal every single day which is great for bitcoin.

Also we are getting closer to an ETF for sure, even if this one gets rejected there will be one that will be accepted soon, how many ETF can they reject before they will have to finally accept one because there will be no reason not to accept it. Hence, we just need to be patient and wait for our turn, when it happens we should not allow whales to dictate the market.

From what i am read, final decision is end february. Hoping this is true and ETF approved by authorities because it will increase investor confident. With ETF, financial institution must be want to invest in bitcoin and crypto.

- Many people and some experts predict that the ETF could make the crypto market grow and become more popular but honestly, I just feel that these are predictions without any basis and factual evidence. They always talk about the great benefits that the ETF brings while they have nothing to prove that it is true and correct, good things seem to be just their imagination, I think there is no ETF, this market will be very good development and that is what it has achieved in recent years, users and investors contribute to this result, the ETF is not important

Important to note, not all ETF's are the same. There are some promising options being released in February.

You won't find any positive impact because the EFT decision what postponed again in Feb if I'm not mistaken.

But yes I would have to agree that it really get us bored with all the waiting game. Bakkt postponed as well in January, that's why most investors just decided to get out that's why the price goes suddenly below $4k and with no positive news coming, I'm sure that we will see this trend up to the end of the year.

Bitcoin ETF applications may be rejected all the time!
Because of the big doubts about the supervision of BTC and cryptocurrency, there is no way to protect the interests of investors.
 This is the main reason for the rejection of Bitcoin ETFs!

This is an old news already because there was another discussions being made as per congress suggestions to improve cryptocurrency system that is acceptable to all countries around the world. However, I do not know for now if there is a news about the discussions though there were speculations already as one of the members of the congress had told that there is a huge percentage that ETF will be approve.

Yeah, right. Even without ETF, bitcoin still survives. At this point, there are still so many issues with ETF that is why it didn't passed the said criteria given by SEC. They also said that ETF was just an unknown company. Just what many were expecting that ETF will be fit to the SEC's reqt's , that is why many are disappointed about this.

US government shutdown led to the van eck etf being pulled by van eck/cboe/solidX, it has now been resubmitted but there is no date given yet for when the 240 day notice period will start. Can probably expect a decision at the end of the year. If bakkt gets up and running and the space matures further then it got an ok chance of getting the green light.
