The archived version : https://web.archive.org/web/20240110204508/https://www.sec.gov/files/rules/sro/nysearca/2024/fg-89shlq.pdf

GPT's Summary:

The document "fg-89shlq.pdf" is an official release from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dated January 10, 2024. It discusses the approval of proposed rule changes by various exchanges (NYSE Arca, Nasdaq, and Cboe BZX) to list and trade shares of various Bitcoin-related trusts and ETFs. The document elaborates on the SEC's analysis and findings, focusing on compliance with specific sections of the Exchange Act and addressing issues related to market manipulation, transparency, and investor protection. The SEC concludes that these proposals meet the requirements of the Exchange Act, considering the robustness of market surveillance and the correlation between Bitcoin spot and futures markets.

Maybe, wouldn't surprise me, gold tanked as well after the approval before it went up.

Might also take a couple of days since the stock market is closed right now and the news needs to spread.

[–]timeforchorin0 / 3K 🦠 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I'm so dumb. I actually hadn't considered it being after hours. either way, I'm kidding. it's going to go up. maybe this tomorrow....or this month... but definitely over time
