JPMorgan Expects Approval of Multiple Spot Bitcoin ETFs
JPMorgan, a global investment bank, anticipates that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will approve multiple spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) simultaneously, rather than granting an advantage to a single company.

Such a retrospective withdrawal would be highly disruptive and embarrassing for the SEC.
Hot Take
China’s economic ambitions and competition with the US are a source of concern for American politicians.

Meanwhile, JPMorgan expects the SEC to approve multiple spot bitcoin ETFs, which could have far-reaching implications for the cryptocurrency market. The evolving dynamics between the US, China, and the cryptocurrency industry will undoubtedly shape the future of global economics.
