The crypto market is brimming with anticipation as the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) edges closer to the January 2024 deadline for deciding on a series of spot Bitcoin ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) applications.

The potential approval of Bitcoin ETFs is expected to broaden the investor base for Bitcoin, possibly leading to increased adoption and price stability. This comes amid a recovering crypto market, with Bitcoin trading over $42,000 in early December.
