SEC Will Approve Spot Bitcoin ETF to Maintain Regulatory Control Over Crypto Industry, Analyst Says
Investment bank TD Cowen predicts the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will approve a spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by the Jan. 10 deadline as a “political necessity.” The bank’s analyst believes that the SEC needs to “cement its role as a crypto regulator before Congress consider broader crypto legislation.”

The SEC’s legal battle against Grayscale Investments regarding the crypto asset manager’s application to convert its bitcoin trust (GBTC) into a spot bitcoin ETF ended in defeat in August last year.

A lame-duck session of Congress is the period between the election and the inauguration of a new government. The investment bank noted:
