CNBC predicts spot Bitcoin ETF approval by the U.S. SEC this week, followed by immediate trading the following business day.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs are on the cusp of a decision from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), with potential trading activities expected to commence by the end of this week.
The anticipated approval date, slated for Wednesday, is pivotal for many applicants eagerly seeking a green light to enter the burgeoning market.
According to CNBC correspondent Kate Rooney, reliable sources affirm the likelihood of spot Bitcoin ETFs securing approval this week, sparking a potential trading frenzy as early as Thursday or Friday.
This development, if materialized, is poised to herald a transformative era for digital asset investments in the United States, opening doors for multiple applicants.
Rooney astutely observes the escalating competition among ETF issuers, foreseeing an impending “price war” centered around spot Bitcoin ETF fees. With a slew of applications in the regulatory pipeline, industry titans such as BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale are gearing up for a fierce battle to capture investor attention, not only in the pre-approval marketing skirmish but also in the subsequent pricing landscape.
