While Bitcoin rose above $30,000 after the news that the spot ETF was approved, it returned to the $28,000 level after it was realized that these news were fake.
While the short-term volatility in BTC caused investors to lose more than 100 million dollars in leveraged transactions, comments on the news continue to come.
The final comment on this point came from Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood, who reiterated her optimism about spot ETFs potentially being approved by the SEC.
Appearing on Coin Stories hosted by Natalie Brunell, Wood said on Monday that the SEC actually understands BTC well.
I asked Cathie Wood about what the SEC has been doing with the spot #Bitcoin ETF applications.
Below is her very candid answer.

Wood said the obstacle to spot Bitcoin ETFs is not the SEC, but SEC Chairman Gary Gensler.
“The people at the SEC are really knowledgeable and successful, but I think spot ETFs are not moving forward and getting approved because of Gary Gensler's attitude.
“I can't say anything for sure, but I think so.”
Wood, who thinks that Gensler's past difficulties in this regard also affected its approach to spot ETFs, stated that the SEC will take action on ETFs soon.
The famous CEO also stated that he thinks the SEC will approve not just one Bitcoin ETF, but several.
Finally, Cathie Wood, who stated that she wondered why Gensler allowed risky Bitcoin Futures ETFs but not risk-free Bitcoin ETFs, said about her company's spot ETF application: “The ETF we are planning will be equivalent to Bitcoin and will be available on Coinbase.” He will be kept safe.”
