Grayscale has been seeking approval for a spot bitcoin ETF for several years, but the SEC has so far rejected its applications.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The SEC's willingness to engage in talks with Grayscale is seen as a positive sign for the industry. If the SEC approves Grayscale's spot bitcoin ETF, it would be the first of its kind in the United States. This would be a major milestone for the cryptocurrency industry, as it would allow investors to easily invest in bitcoin through a traditional financial instrument.</span></p> <p><br><picture><source srcset="https://wizardia.io/images/blog/thumb/sec-8490.webp 576w, https://wizardia.io/images/blog/inner/sec-8490.webp " type="image/webp"></source><source srcset="https://wizardia.io/images/blog/thumb/sec-8490.jpeg 576w, https://wizardia.io/images/blog/inner/sec-8490.jpeg " type="image/jpg"></source><img srcset="https://wizardia.io/images/blog/thumb/sec-8490.jpeg 576w, https://wizardia.io/images/blog/inner/sec-8490.jpeg " alt="" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="1024"></picture><br><br></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Catch up on the SBF saga in our recent </span><a href="https://wizardia.io/blog/sbf_saga"><span style="font-weight: 400;">post</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p> </p> <h1><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 24pt;">&#9878;&#65039; U.S. Lawmakers Introduce Bill to Regulate Stablecoins</span></h1> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A group of U.S. lawmakers has introduced a bill to regulate stablecoins. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies that are pegged to a stable asset, such as the US dollar or gold. This makes them less volatile than other cryptocurrencies, and they are therefore more attractive to merchants and investors.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The bill would require stablecoin issuers to be registered with the SEC and to maintain reserves that are equal to the value of the stablecoin in circulation. The bill would also require stablecoin issuers to comply with a number of other requirements, such as Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) rules.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The introduction of this bill is a sign that the U.S. government is taking a more active role in regulating the cryptocurrency industry. It is also a sign that the government is concerned about the risks posed by stablecoins, such as the risk of market manipulation and financial instability.</span></p> <p><br><picture><source srcset="https://wizardia.io/images/blog/thumb/rthrt-80.webp 576w, https://wizardia.io/images/blog/inner/rthrt-80.webp " type="image/webp"></source><source srcset="https://wizardia.io/images/blog/thumb/rthrt-80.jpeg 576w, https://wizardia.io/images/blog/inner/rthrt-80.jpeg " type="image/jpg"></source><img srcset="https://wizardia.io/images/blog/thumb/rthrt-80.jpeg 576w, https://wizardia.io/images/blog/inner/rthrt-80.jpeg " alt="" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="1024"></picture><br><br></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Learn more about stable coins with our article- </span><a href="https://wizardia.io/blog/stable_coins"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Crypto Stablecoins: Revolutionizing Finance and Reshaping the Global Economy</span></a></p> <p> </p> <h1><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 24pt;">&#128184; Current Bitcoin Price and Analysis</span></h1> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At the time of writing this, the price of Bitcoin is currently trading at around $36,800. This is its highest level since October 2021. The rally is being driven by a number of factors, including increased institutional adoption and positive news about the crypto industry.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Analysts are generally bullish on Bitcoin in the short-term. However, some analysts are concerned about the long-term prospects of Bitcoin, as they believe that it is overvalued and that its price is unsustainable.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Based on the MACD and RSI indicators, the technical analysis of Bitcoin for November 9, 2023 was bullish. The MACD and RSI were both above their respective zero lines, and they were both trending higher. This suggests that the price of Bitcoin was likely to continue to rise.</span></p> <p><br><br></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Overall, the cryptocurrency industry is showing signs of growth and maturity. The SEC's willingness to engage in talks with Grayscale over a spot bitcoin ETF is a positive sign for the industry. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The introduction of a bill to regulate stablecoins is a sign that the U.S. government is taking a more active role in the crypto industry. And the rally in the price of Bitcoin is a sign that investors are increasingly confident in the future of the cryptocurrency.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><picture><source srcset="https://wizardia.io/images/blog/thumb/df-8728.webp 576w, https://wizardia.io/images/blog/inner/df-8728.webp " type="image/webp"></source><source srcset="https://wizardia.io/images/blog/thumb/df-8728.jpeg 576w, https://wizardia.io/images/blog/inner/df-8728.jpeg " type="image/jpg"></source><img srcset="https://wizardia.io/images/blog/thumb/df-8728.jpeg 576w, https://wizardia.io/images/blog/inner/df-8728.jpeg " alt="" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="1024"></picture><br><br><br></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Want to win prizes and NFTs?
