Portfolio Pulse from Adam Eckert
The SEC's social media account was compromised, leading to a fake post about the approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF, which was later debunked by SEC chair Gary Gensler. Fundstrat's Tom Lee sees this as a reminder of Bitcoin's trustworthiness in a 'trustless world'. Despite the incident, Lee is optimistic about Bitcoin's future, predicting it could reach $150,000 within a year and $500,000 in five years. Bitcoin's price saw a 3% drop to $45,445 following the fake post.
