BTC ETF approval not possible this year
Grey King had a lot to say during his recent meeting with Jared and Seana. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is the body responsible for the BTC ETF approval and a number of steps involved.
Under the guidance of Gary Gensler, the SEC has been dealing with a significant amount of approval requests and other financial integrations this year, which are coming from all directions.

Summer downfall
According to King, there has been a huge surge in applicants to the SEC who wanted the approvals. He claims that this factor played a huge role in the bull run that we had witnessed at the start of 2021 and the end of 2020.
However, he also claims that the delays in decisions and approvals by the U.S. government and harsh remarks to issuing stablecoins have all contributed to the correction that followed the bull run.
