The SEC Twitter account was hacked. Following the hack, Gary Gensler posted a message from his X account. The SEC ‘s X account was compromised and an unauthorized message was posted.
According to the statement:
- The SEC X account was compromised. An unauthorized message was posted.
- It has not approved the listing and trading of products traded on the Spot Bitcoin Exchange.
After the approval tweet, Bitcoin, which had fallen back to the $44,000 range, recovered after the denial and returned to the $46,000 range.
The message shared from the SEC’s X account was removed from the account about 15 minutes later.
