Wall Street Enters The Crypto Age: SEC Issues Historic Approval Of Spot Bitcoin ETFs (UPDATED)
Portfolio Pulse from Murtuza Merchant
The SEC has approved applications for spot Bitcoin ETFs, a decision that is expected to significantly impact the cryptocurrency and traditional finance sectors. The approved ETFs include Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, Bitwise Bitcoin ETF, Hashdex Bitcoin ETF, iShares Bitcoin Trust, Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund, ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF, Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF, VanEck Bitcoin Trust, WisdomTree Bitcoin Fund, Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, and Franklin Bitcoin ETF.

The ETFs are seen as a step towards legitimizing Bitcoin and may lead to more stability and growth in the long term.
