SEC's Decision Window for Spot Bitcoin ETF Approval Imminent

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is expected to issue a ruling on the Spot Bitcoin$42,260 -0.64% ETF between January 5th and 10th, according to Bloomberg's James Seyffart. This decision will come after several months of speculation in the digital asset industry about the possible approval of a Spot Bitcoin ETF, a first in the United States. This could potentially boost the digital asset to new heights.

Details of the Imminent Approval

Seyffart has reported that the time frame for the SEC's decision on the Spot Bitcoin ETF applications has been clarified. During this period, the agency is expected to make a decision on more than a dozen applications. Seyffart added that any approvals are most likely to be issued between January 8th and the 10th.

Historical Delays and Future Predictions

Historically, the SEC has repeatedly postponed its decision on the Bitcoin product. However, this trend is expected to change in early 2024. Many believe a decision on several applications could be made in January, aligning with the reported approval window.

Impact on Bitcoin's Market Value

Speculation about the Spot Bitcoin ETF has already had a positive effect on Bitcoin, as it recently exceeded the $38.8K mark for the first time since 2022. Standard Chartered has predicted that if an ETF is approved, it could lead to a more than 160% gain. This could potentially elevate the asset to a projected price of $100,000 by the end of 2024.
