Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas stated on his social media platform that although there are clues pointing to the SEC official account being hacked, he is more inclined to believe that the "SEC approves Bitcoin spot ETF" false news comes from within the SEC or that "SEC employees prepared a planned tweet but entered the wrong date" because the wording of the tweet is very consistent with the SEC style, so it is not a simple prank.
