Impact On Top Of The Pyramid

Meanwhile, the crypto ecosystem had in recent times grew expectations on the approval of the first spot Bitcoin ETF product in the United States. However, the onus is on the US SEC to take a decision, following the recent setback it faced with Grayscale obtaining the grant for its motion to convert its Bitcoin Trust into a spot ETF.

Although lawmakers like Patrick McHenry, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, have been vocal against the SEC’s handling of the crypto ecosystem, leaders like DeSantis and Kennedy Jr. could likely make the biggest impact in terms of regulatory changes.
