  • “Happy ETF Approval Day (for real this time) to all those who celebrate,” Balchunas, a senior ETF analyst for Bloomberg, posted to X on Wednesday morning. “As far as we know it’s ALL SYSTEMS GO. Most likely is we see formal approvals ballpark 4-6pm today with the Derby starting on Thursday.”
  • The “derby” seemingly refers to the stiff competition between spot bitcoin ETF hopefuls, which Balchunas in the past has referred to as the “Cointucky Derby.”
  • SEC Chair, Gary Gensler, had to do damage control on Tuesday following a fraudulent post indicating the SEC had approved spot bitcoin ETFs.
  • “The @SECGov twitter account was compromised, and an unauthorized tweet was posted,” SEC Chair Gary Gensler posted to X Tuesday Afternoon. “The SEC has not approved the listing and trading of spot bitcoin exchange-traded products.”
  • Shortly after the SEC’s post, Bitcoin’s price soared to $48,000 before dwindling back down to $44,000. As of early Wednesday afternoon, the cryptocurrency was trading at greater than $45,000.
