โก๏ธBITCOIN SPOT ETF APPROVED!
๐ The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has granted approval for the listing of a Bitcoin ETF on all registered national securities exchanges.
๐ก๏ธ Approved Bitcoin ETFs will be subject to continuous monitoring and compliance measures to ensure ongoing investor protection.
๐คฃ Some prankster hackers breached the SEC Twitter account and posted the news. For us crypto enthusiasts, it could have been a new era and an eye-opener for those who don't understand cryptocurrency, considering it a scam.
๐ Unfortunately, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) did not approve the listing and trading of spot Bitcoin ETFs. Still, for a couple of seconds, everyone believed it. However, some enthusiasts, including Arthur Hayes, believe that after the approval of a Bitcoin ETF, the crypto giant โ BTC will die for investors.
๐ The Death of Bitcoin?
๐ "If ETFs, managed by TradFi (traditional finance) asset managers, become too successful, they will completely destroy Bitcoin," wrote Arthur Hayes on his blog on December 23. He noted that the reward for a Bitcoin block will drop to zero around 2140, after which miners will only receive fees for transaction verification.
๐ "But if there was never another Bitcoin transaction between two entities, miners couldn't afford the energy needed to secure the network," Hayes wrote. "As a result, they would shut down their machines. Without miners, the network will die, and Bitcoin will disappear."
๐ Hayes claims that asset managers like BlackRock are involved in an "asset accumulation game."
๐ฌ "They gather assets, store them in a metaphorical vault, issue tradable securities, and charge a management fee," he wrote. "They don't use what they have on behalf of their clients, which poses a problem for Bitcoin if we look at the possible future from extreme positions."
๐ However, even if BTC "dies because it's not being used," it creates space for another crypto network to take its place, writes Hayes.
