Will the SEC approve all 11 bitcoin ETF applications simultaneously?
As anticipation builds around the US SEC's upcoming decision regarding bitcoin ETF applications, industry experts including FOX Reporter Eleanor Terret and bitcoin Expert James Seyffart Bloomberg ETFs, have been sharing their predictions about the possible results.
Leonor is terrified reflexes the intriguing possibility of the SEC approving all eleven btc spot ETF applications at once, allowing them to begin trading on the same day.
However, Terret also raises questions about the readiness of each applicant's operational infrastructure and whether this may affect the actual launch date of each ETF.
James Seyffart reply to Terret's comments, stating that his base case is the approval of all eleven btc spot ETF applications simultaneously.
However, Seyffart acknowledges that operational readiness could be a factor for some applicants, potentially leading to delays in their launch. While approval of all eleven ETFs at once is not guaranteed, Seyffart believes that most applicants will be willing to start trading if approved by the SEC.
Overall, with the SEC's impending decision on btc spot ETF applications, speculation is growing about the possible approval of all eleven ETFs simultaneously.
TO positive decision for the SEC to approve multiple ETFs simultaneously would give investors more options to gain exposure to bitcoin, potentially driving greater market participation and liquidity.
bitcoin is currently trading at $43,600, down more than 1% in the last 24 hours, as the market awaits further updates on the bitcoin ETF that could affect the price of bitcoin.
