He alluded to the Grayscale case, where the court ruled that the SEC\u2019s reasons for denying the asset manager\u2019s application were insufficient. With this in mind, Seyffart said that the SEC is likely to approve these funds soon enough.\u00a0 These approvals could come as soon as next week, going by the analyst\u2019s projection. Seyffart stated that he expects an official approval order to come between January 8 and 10. This is despite the recent rumors that the SEC could approve these funds before this week runs out.\u00a0 Featured image from Finextra Research, chart from Tradingview.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":594,"featured_media":568256,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[428,532,656,7720,89670,89215,1119,89185,1144,78790],"class_list":["post-568242","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-bitcoin","tag-bitcoin-etf","tag-bitcoin-news","tag-blackrock","tag-blackrock-bitcoin","tag-blackrock-news","tag-btc","tag-btc-news","tag-btcusd","tag-btcusdt"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
