Bitcoin ETFs on the Rise
Following a noteworthy legal win, Grayscale Investments has fervently petitioned the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for swift approval of its proposed Spot Bitcoin ETF. This plea comes in the wake of a monumental court decision that could revolutionize how Bitcoin is traded on major stock exchanges.
Grayscale’s Triumph Over the SEC
In a pivotal case that has garnered considerable attention within the crypto industry, a three-judge panel from the District of Columbia Court of Appeals last week determined that the SEC’s initial rejection of Grayscale’s Bitcoin ETF was inadequately justified. This verdict was a game-changer; Bitcoin’s price surged nearly 7% shortly after the announcement.
The Evolving Landscape of Bitcoin ETFs
The spotlight on Grayscale’s court victory intensified the anticipation surrounding spot Bitcoin ETFs. Following the legal win, speculators have grown even more optimistic. As a testament to this optimism, Bloomberg Intelligence analysts have now revised their prediction for a spot Bitcoin ETF approval by year-end 2023 from 65% to a staggering 75%.
What’s Next for Grayscale and the SEC?
Analysts at J.P. Morgan postulated that the SEC would almost certainly greenlight the spot Bitcoin ETF applications, particularly after Grayscale’s triumph. While the court’s decision mandates the SEC to re-evaluate Grayscale’s application, the regulatory body retains the option to appeal. As of last week, the SEC stated it was closely examining the court’s ruling.
