Deaton Reacts To SEC's Change of Mind Regarding Spot Bitcoin ETF

Lawyer John Deaton, a proponent of XRP, has commented on the recent change in the SEC's tone regarding spot Bitcoin ETFs, suggesting that Gary Gensler may have personal reasons for the shift. Deaton believes that while Gensler's perspective on Bitcoin may not have changed, the SEC's recent court loss and criticism from federal judges may have influenced the change in tone.

Bloomberg analysts have reported constructive discussions between the SEC and Bitcoin ETF issuers, leading to increased odds of approval for a spot Bitcoin ETF. Executives such as Mike Novogratz and Cathie Wood are also optimistic about approval this year.

  • QCP: BTC's path to $100,000 has stalled, and ETH implied volatility has turned to put options

    QCP Capital has published an analysis indicating that the recent drop in the price of Bitcoin has resulted in long liquidations exceeding $430 million. This drop coincides with the end of five consecutive days of net inflows for spot ETFs, which recorded a outflow of $438 million on Monday, while MicroStrategy fell by 4.4%. With the US holiday approaching and no immediate catalyst to push prices higher, BTC's path towards $100,000 has stalled. In addition, the implied volatility of ETH has turned to bearish options rather than bullish options, and market concerns about downside risks may intensify, especially with the release of the FOMC meeting minutes and PCE data. However, in the long run, this market decline is not an excessive correction. Bitcoin has only retreated to last week's level. Since Trump's election, the market has become extremely overbought and leveraged, so a pause is inevitable.
