Probably this topic is the 2nd one I'm encountering today by the OP, but I am sticking to the topic. I really cant relate Bitcoin's spot ETF green signal to the $4B settlement of Binance. Recently I've heard some statements from the SEC's side that they are pointing they have no reason to stop the approval.

That was nothing new from the 17th November's development,it was clear SEC has no issue with the spot ETF of the Bitcoin, and they are just looking for a good time why? even I'm not sure about it.
