Marathon Digital CEO Fred Thiel is optimistic about the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approving a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). Thiel stated that it is certain that if one project is approved, many others will be approved as well. The US SEC appears to be approving an Ethereum futures ETF, and if they do so, it will only increase the likelihood of approving a Bitcoin ETF. Personally, I am quite optimistic. I believe there is more than a 50% chance that the SEC will approve the bill. Currently, there are about six applications to launch a Bitcoin ETF that will directly track the Bitcoin price, rather than tracking futures contracts or other derivatives. This will make it easier for investors to access Bitcoin without having to purchase and store cryptocurrencies themselves.
