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.
