The SEC has delayed the Bitcoin ETF decisions and has gotten many confused...but this might actually be good.

Let's break down the reasons and implications for the crypto. #threadstorm #outreach

In my latest post, I delve deeper into these dynamics, breaking down the potential ripple effects and what it means for the future of crypto. Don’t miss this hot discussion.

2 months ago, the crypto sphere buzzed with anticipation. A top asset management firm's BTC ETF filing with the SEC was a game-changer. It signaled a shift in institutional interest for a previously sidelined digital asset.

Following the trend, Fidelity, a giant in tradfi, also filed for a BTC ETF. Other institutions, once rejected, re-entered the fray. The stage was set for a historic crypto and TradFi handshake. But 1 entity stood in the way: the SEC.

So, why the hold-up? Think of it this way:

Imagine a chef wanting to introduce a new dish to the restaurant menu. Before doing so, they'd sample it to a few customers to gather feedback.

Similarly, the SEC is tasting the waters by seeking public feedback on the ETFs, ensuring it's the right choice for the market's appetite.

The SEC has posed critical questions:
•How will the exchange combat fraud?
•Can the Bitcoin market stand against manipulation?
•What's the deal with the Exchange's ties to Coinbase?

While some view this call for public feedback as dilly-dallying, it's worth considering the SEC's genuine interest in diverse perspectives. After all, they're the guardians of public financial investments.🤷‍♂️

Here's the interesting twist! The ETF decision might stretch into 2024, coinciding with the next Bitcoin halving. And if history is any indicator, post-halving price trends are something to watch!

Can you imagine the potential market shift if BlackRock invests only $10 billion? That’s 2% of Bitcoin's total market cap but represents a whopping 17% of all bitcoins available on exchanges.
