https://cointelegraph.com/news/sec-spot-bitcoin-etf-updates-deadlineIf you read the news and what has been happening before that time, you will know that United States SEC will approve bitcoin spot ETF in early 2024.
There is not need to discuss about if it will not be approved or not because it will be approved.
I don't see any reason why they can't delay it. after all they've been doing that for 4 years. Bitcoin ETF is not a new thing. it has been going for 4 years. they have been delaying it over and over every time. this time however the buzz is way more than previous times. maybe this time they get pressurised and finally aprove that..
Otherwise they could delay it again.
BTW it is 2nd week of 2024. they've been concluding meetings with stock exchanges and big companies. but so far there is no final news about approval. don't you think they are intentionially taking too long?
