CoinGape reported last week that Cathie Wood seems to be bearish on Bitcoin and crypto shares as the SEC is likely to approve spot Bitcoin ETFs as of January 10, considering it as a ‘sell the news’ event. Moreover, Ark Invest funds will look to continue to offload COIN shares worth millions this month as part of its active fund management strategy, extending its selloff run of the last year.
