I don't know why SEC still keeps on stopping it while here is the truth that might happen if ever, they just wave their white flag and accept the Bitcoin spot ETF.
https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/29/first-bitcoin-etf-could-be-coming-soon-as-court-rules-in-favor-of-grayscale-over-sec.htmlHere is one.
Castle Island Ventures Nic Carter agrees, adding that while the SEC can go back and try to deny the application on different grounds, the best next step is for the agency to accept the decision as a way to save face and allow the spot ETF in a way that shows they disagree with the decision but respect the courts ruling.
And this.
CoinRoutes CEO, Dave Weisberger, tells CNBC it could even net SEC Chairman Gary Gensler a political win a spot bitcoin ETF would grant the regulator some oversight of the bitcoin spot market even though the token is not considered a security.
Most supporters of Bitcoin will probably change their mind about SEC if ever they just let it go. It's been taking so long, and they are just making more angry mobs that would lead them to be hated for a long time.
Let's face it, Bitcoin Futures was easily approved because the SEC knew it won't gain any popularity and that's what happened even as of today. Spot Bitcoin ETF will be a different story. This is why they are giving Grayscale a hard time to be approved for a spot ETF.
But I like what Dave Weisberg, CEO of CoinRoutes said on this interview.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd0KyBrHV4I"SEC could lay low against Grayscale, approve BlackRock and Fidelity Spot ETF, and then challenge Grayscale to do the same thing." Because there's no way SEC would win now everywhere they go, even at Supreme Court. They are just prolonging the inevitable.
