Yeah, it is very uncanny for them to removed the ticker when someone notice it on their website. So it could be that they just made a big and honest mistakes on their end, or they wanted to see the pulse of the crypto world and see what will be the reaction. And so obviously, it created a lot of noise and pushes the price to $35k. And the good thing is that even after they have taken it down, the prices keeps on that price range.
As for the ETF coming soon, yeah, the pressure is now on SEC to approved it. There are big guys playing on the market right now, too influential that the SEC can't really do anything about it but to approved it. And most likely it will coincide with the bull run in the next year.
They will approve it but at the time when we don't expect it. Something like there is an element of surprise and the regular people are not able to buy. For now, SEC may actually wait for the BTC ETF news to die down and none of the crypto news sites will publish about it anymore.
Once people\s attention are once again drawn to some war somewhere, the SEC will secretly approve it like ETF was approved months ago.
