Bitcoin Pumps and then dumps after the SEC Twitter account is compromised and posts a fake announcement saying a spot ETF was approved.

![]() |
Something wild just happened. THE SEC posted a tweet saying that the Spot ETF was approved. Bitcoin Spiked and then dumped, normal sell the news market volatility… right? Nope apparently the ETF was never approved a follow up tweet by Gary Gensler said the SEC twitter account was compromised and that it was an unauthorized Tweet. The SEC announcement post is now deleted. ————- With that lets acknowledge this SEC tweet from Oct. 2023. I have a feeling if this wasn't an intern screwup – whoever made that fake announcement likely made huge money on volatility… Regardless of what happens on the supposed announcement later this week, this is going to be a stain on the inevitable news. submitted by /u/GabeSter |
