Additionally, Eric addresses an important step in the ongoing argument over ETF approval.

Enthusiasm Surrounding Spot ETFs

In a departure from the norm, Joe Carlasare, known for his reserved and realistic approach to spot ETF discussions, has made a significant prediction.

Carlasare took to X, expressing his confidence in the approval of several spot ETFs. He pinpoints Friday, January 5th, or Monday, January 8th, as potential approval dates.

This caught the attention of Ripple Lawyer John E Deaton, who acknowledged Joe’s reserved stance and shared his perspective as a seasoned investor, foreseeing a short-term correction post-approval. Deaton remains optimistic, suggesting a swift recovery and hinting at his intention to ‘hodl’ amidst the market dynamics.
