US SEC lawsuit and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s decision on six Bitcoin ETF applications including BlackRock spot Bitcoin ETF.
Bitcoin and Crypto Market Recovery Likely This Week

Moreover, the SEC to decide on six Bitcoin ETF applications by leading asset management firms. The ETF applications submitted by Bitwise, BlackRock, VanEck, WisdomTree, and Invesco are expected to receive responses before the end of the week.
Bloomberg Intelligence ETF analysts earlier said Grayscale has a 70% chance of winning the SEC lawsuit. However, the court continued to postpone the ruling amid SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s reluctance to approve a spot Bitcoin ETF. Moreover, Grayscale’s victory in the lawsuit means the SEC will approve a spot Bitcoin ETF this year.
