Haha, you hit the nail on the head. I know all this while the SEC has been postponing this ETF, there has been something behind it. Nike the thing is, will it also affect exchanges as I do trade with Bitget and Binance
Like some others have said, the official reason is that the ETFs were not structured in a way that manipulators can be identified.This is a bit silly, because manipulators of silver, gold or diamond prices can also not be identified. That’s why the unofficial reason is political climate. SEC governors will be kind of held responsible if people lose a lot of money in crypto with Bitcoin futures etc, which will happen. So, they are looking for something that saves their buttocks so to speak and makes them not responsible if people lose money. Despite these ongoing challenges many are still optimistic that a spot bitcoin ETF approval will come mid to late 2022. Projects are continuing to have discussions with the SEC about best practices to prevent any market manipulation or fraud.
If the ETF gets full approval, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Bitcoin go to $100k .A full SEC approval will literally kick in the doors for the traditional investors looking to diversify and put their hands on the market that offers relatively high gains and it will make them want to pour massive amounts of cash into ETFs as well as put some of it directly into Bitcoin itself. Nonetheless, it's important to remember that the cryptocurrency market is highly volatile and influenced by various factors, so it's crucial to stay informed and make investment decisions based on thorough research and personal risk tolerance.
