In an interview with CNBC, Grewal expressed confidence that the SEC will approve Bitcoin ETF applications because they should be granted under the law. He believes that well-structured ETF proposals from major players in the financial service industry will lead to progress in this area. Grewal did not provide a specific timeline for approval but believes it will happen soon due to recent developments.Grewal’s optimism is supported by a recent court setback for the SEC, where a judge stated that the regulator had no grounds to deny Grayscale’s approval to convert its Grayscale Bitcoin into a spot Bitcoin ETF. Grewal believes that this ruling will push the SEC to fulfill its responsibilities and approve a Bitcoin ETF. He also noted that the SEC’s failure to file an appeal on the ruling indicates a potential approval within the given timespan.If a Spot ETF is approved, Bitcoin could experience a major rally as it provides investors with a means to invest in BTC without directly purchasing the digital asset from an exchange. Coinbase, as a major cryptocurrency exchange, stands to benefit greatly from a Bitcoin ETF approval.JPMorgan analysts share the optimism for a Bitcoin ETF approval, suggesting that the product could be available to the public by Christmas. Bloomberg analysts also believe there is a 90% chance of a Bitcoin ETF being approved next year.Overall, there is growing confidence in the approval of a Spot Bitcoin ETF by the SEC, with industry experts and analysts predicting positive outcomes in the near future.
