As Bitcoin ETF decision deadlines loom, there's growing interest in figuring out when, exactly, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will make its announcement.
There's a handful of spot Bitcoin ETF applications pending with the regulator. The SEC missed another window for a decision, choosing instead to extend all of its deadlines. But but there's also been word that the SEC has met with Grayscale and BlackRock in the interim to discuss amendments to their applications.
To be clear, the SEC could still deny any or all of the pending applications. There's mounting optimism from Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong to JP Morgan analysts, but there's no guarantee that the SEC will give any spot Bitcoin ETF the green light in early 2024. Still, experts who have been tracking the applicants' odds say they've never been better, and they have narrowed down a potential approval window to a handful of days in early January.
Bloomberg Intelligence ETF analyst James Seyffart says while the window is technically from January 5 through January 10, the securities regulator is unlikely make an announcement on a Friday and even less likely to drop news about the ETF applicants over the weekend.
So that shrinks the window to Monday, January 8 through Wednesday, January 10. "Mark your calendars people," he wrote on Twitter.
Window is officially Jan 5th to Jan 10th. Really this means that any potential approval orders are going to come on either Monday Jan 8, Tuesday Jan 9, or Wednesday Jan 10. Mark your calendars people. https://t.co/8ob8Y6pgU5

The crypto industry has been waiting for a spot Bitcoin ETF to be approved for years.
In the U.S., regulators have approved Bitcoin futures and even leveraged Bitcoin futures ETFs to trade. But a genuine Bitcoin ETF, one that directly tracks BTC and not just derivatives, has so far eluded investors.
The idea is this: shares in a Bitcoin ETF would gain and lose value as Bitcoin's price fluctuates, and investments in those shares would allow buyers to gain exposure to BTC without actually buying or holding digital coins.
Because an ETF makes it easier for traditional investors to jump into crypto, analysts have long predicted that such a product would bring a massive influx of capital into the market. Recently, researchers at blockchain data firm CryptoQuant said they expect an ETF to double Bitcoin's market cap, and potentially increase the overall crypto market by $1 trillion. For context, Apple's market cap sits at a cool $2.9 trillion today.
Just the chance that an ETF might be approved has been incredibly bullish for Bitcoin's price. The world's oldest and largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization has found buoyancy thanks to all the attention from institutions and the upcoming Bitcoin halving, which limits Bitcoin's inflation rate and could further drive up demand.

Six days after a $223 million exploit shook the Sui ecosystem, decentralized exchange Cetus has announced a recovery initiative that would override hacker-controlled wallets through a protocol-level upgrade, if the community approves it. The vote will determine whether $162 million in frozen funds can be forcefully reclaimed from the attacker’s wallets via a protocol-level upgrade as part of Cetus’s “larger recovery plan.” Cetus has requested a community driven vote to recover the funds frozen...
Luxury fashion and NFT-linked products company 9dcc will wind down operations at the end of May, citing economic challenges and “softness” in luxury retail sales, and perhaps being too early to a future trend in the making. The brand, which sold shirts, hats, and other apparel items as “networked products,” physically linked its clothing to NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain via sewn-in NFC chips. This allowed owners to prove provenance and even obtain digital signatures that lived on the blockchai...
Thousands of Bitcoin fans descended on Las Vegas this week to soak in BTC Inc.’s annual conference—from newly minted crypto devotees to longtime BTC OGs. Under the roof of The Venetian Convention & Expo Center, however, the distinction appeared to hardly matter. Although Bitcoin’s price set a new all-time high less than a week ago, the prospect of in-person connections appeared to be the biggest draw for a largely digital industry—despite a “who’s who” of speakers, including Silk Road pioneer Ro...
