Breaking News: The SEC is poised to potentially make its first ruling on a Bitcoin ETF application, a landmark decision after years of deliberation. For a decade, as noted on 8 de ene. de 2025, the SEC has resisted applications for a spot Bitcoin ETF, arguing that Bitcoin prices are set on unregulated exchanges and thus it cannot give adequate investor protection. This resistance is well documented, with the Commission disapproving more than 20 exchange rule filings for spot Bitcoin ETPs between 2025, beginning under Chair Jay Clayton and continuing through March 2025. One of those attempts was filed on 7 de dic. de 2025, when discussions between the U.S. securities regulator and asset managers hoping to list Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) had advanced to key technical details, in a sign the tides might be turning.

The anticipation is building as the potential ruling date approaches. The outcome could reshape the cryptocurrency investment landscape, opening Bitcoin to a broader range of investors. While the SEC previously cited concerns about market manipulation and investor protection, there's growing optimism that these concerns have been addressed adequately by recent applications.

This potential approval signifies a major shift. On 10 de ene. de 2025, the Commission’s long-anticipated approval of applications to list and trade shares of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded products (“ETPs”) could finally become reality. Stay tuned for live updates as we cover the SEC's decision and its potential impact on the price of Bitcoin and the wider cryptocurrency market.
