We have today a Bitcoin Spot EDF that has just been approved.

I am absolutely excited about this.

Bankless Nation, happy second week of January.

It's time for the weekly roll-up.

I've got Anthony Sasano here with me.

He is here in lieu of David who is off in the mountains.

What are your thoughts on the Bitcoin EDF

just going into this episode?

Yeah, I mean, I think I'm just relieved

that we can stop speculating on this now.

I know that people have already begun speculating

on the E-Spot E-T-F's, but it's a different thing where, you know, for months and months now, since Black Rock really filed for the E. T. F. in June of 2023, it's been non-stop speculation or will they approve it? Will they not approve it? You know, Gensler hates crypto, the SEC's unfriendly towards

crypto, and then as we got closer to the date, the picture became clearer and clearer. But people were still

doubting it up until the day of approval. They were saying, you know, Gendler is going to rug us. That's what he loves to do.

And then in the end, what ended up happening was that those court cases that the SEC lost,

especially the one against Greyscale, ended up forcing the SEC's hand in order to approve these and

Gensler was one of the ones that voted for the approval. There was three, four and

two against I believe, which is which is quite funny to see. It's beautiful and definitely worth celebrating.

So guys a few things we're going to talk about.

Number one, the spot, Bitcoin ETF.

How did it happen?

It seems like the SEC approved this begrudgingly.
