The Bitwise and VanEck Bitcoin ETFs were both proposed on 15th and 20th February respectively. These dates caused the SEC’s deadlines for reviewing the ETFs which must be done within 90 days.
Now, as the popular lawyer Jake Chervinsky says, the decision date literally just around the corner for 21st May i.e tomorrow.
Chervinsky said:
“This is no time for ETF hopium. If the SEC doesn’t delay the VanEck bitcoin ETF proposal, the most likely result is rejection, not approval. The SEC delayed Bitwise last week, but still hasn’t made a decision on VanEck. Here’s why that’s a bad sign for ETF bulls.”
Now, if the ETF is rejected, a plunge is more than likely to happen in the markets but the trader Josh Rager highlighted that a new wave of FOMO could occur and sweep the market of its feet to new yearly highs.
Rager said on Twitter:
“The upcoming VanEck ETF decision could certainly have a serious impact on $BTC price
Denial = Pull back the current price regardless of how good it looked this weekend
Approval = Push the price to new yearly high & create mass FOMO buying
Delay = Expected & likely little change”
