SEC Approves Bitcoin ETF! The cryptocurrency market is eagerly awaiting the decision of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Bitcoin spot ETFs in the new year. A significant assessment on this matter comes from cryptocurrency fund manager Cathie Wood.
Speaking on CNBC’s “Crypto World” program, Wood indicated that there are strong signals that the SEC will approve ETF requests. Wood stated that the institution’s perspective on cryptocurrencies has changed, and at the same time, there has been an increase in knowledge depth.
“They have changed their perspectives on the issues. Their knowledge is now deeper… There are strong indications that spot Bitcoin ETFs will be approved in January. I believe there is a high probability of approval around January 10th. We are closely monitoring developments. Our partner company, 21Shares, is a dedicated firm in this field and is the best in the world in its field.”
Wood also mentioned that after the approval of spot ETFs, institutions and other investors are likely to enter this space, and she said, “At that point, there will be a desire to further diversify investments. We wanted to be prepared for this situation, that is, for companies’ portfolio diversification strategies.”
Wood’s assessments have generated significant expectations in the cryptocurrency market. The approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs is anticipated to increase the acceptance of cryptocurrencies by institutional investors and contribute to the growth of the market.

How will the SEC’s decision affect the market?
The SEC’s decision on spot Bitcoin ETFs will significantly impact the cryptocurrency market. The approval of ETFs will make cryptocurrencies more liquid and accessible, facilitating easier investment by investors and broadening market reach.
On the other hand, the rejection of ETFs can have a negative effect on the market. In this case, institutions and other investors may hesitate to invest in cryptocurrencies, potentially slowing down market growth.
The clarity on what the SEC’s decision will be is expected to emerge in the coming days. However, market expectations lean towards the approval of ETF requests by the institution.
