Bloomberg Analyst Weigh In On Spot Bitcoin ETF Approval By US SEC After XRP Ruling

Bloomberg Analyst On Spot Bitcoin ETF Approval by US SEC

Bloomberg Intelligence ETF analyst James Seyffart in an interview with Paul Barron Network reflected on Bitcoin ETFs status, BlackRock spot Bitcoin ETF, odds of approval by the US SEC, the impact Judge Torres’ ruling in US SEC v. Ripple Labs, political pressure, and crypto regulations.

He said there are currently many BTC ETF filings with the SEC, with BlackRock filing making the most noise as traditional financial firms make another stride into the crypto market. While Ark Invest and 21Shares’ spot Bitcoin ETF application is first in line, BlackRock looks to capitalize first with a sudden move.

“We are officially at 50-50 odds. The SEC had a list of things they needed to have happen before they approve a Bitcoin ETF and issuers have knocked those things off the list. The SEC wanted a surveillance sharing agreement with a regulated market of significant size that has been in every single denial letter over the years.”

BlackRock, Nasdaq, and Coinbase filing together for a spot Bitcoin ETF application with surveillance sharing agreement amended the approach. The ETF will be a security and the US SEC wants oversight of these markets. While Binance is the leader in trading volumes of significant size, it has most trades in stablecoins. In fact, Binance.US is already switching to a crypto-only exchange, reducing reliance on the US dollar.

Seyffart says he agrees with Galaxy CEO Mike Novogratz that Judge Torres’ decision is a big win for Ripple. However, Ripple can still face setbacks in other parts and SEC Gary Gensler can come back with a spin. The US Congress needs to bring clarity on crypto rules and guidance in the country. A Bitcoin ETF approval is most likely in the current situation.

Approval of Ark 21Shares Bitcoin ETF is more crucial than BlackRock and others as the SEC could deny it first and delay the decision on other Bitcoin ETFs. He also talks about Bitcoin ETF countdown clock, Fidelity Ethereum ETF, Nasdaq halting crypto custody business plans, and EU’s MiCA regulation.

Sell the rumors… Buy hack announcements? Unibot retrospective

In the aftermath of a significant security breach affecting Unibot (UNIBOT), an unexpected twist in market psychology surfaced. A leading analyst on prominent crypto analytics platform Santiment dissected the curious case of Unibot price action following a hack, challenging the old adage of “sell the rumor , buy the news.” He wrote: Panic creeps in, you start getting doubts (especially having experience multiple blowups of projects before), maybe it’s just better to sell and wait it out? Looks like many UNIBOT holders felt those kind of feelings in the recent days. On Oct. 31st, a capitulation event was observed for Unibot as long-standing coins changed hands in response to panic stemming from a cryptic tweet by the coin’s developers. The subsequent sell-off resulted in the largest transaction volume spike for Unibot, accompanied by a noticeable increase in active addresses — a movement tracked closely by Santiment’s tools. If you read any UNIBOT-rel...
