SEC Approves First U.S. Bitcoin Spot ETFs

Key Points:
  • The SEC approved U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs on January 11, 2024.
  • Bitcoin’s market exposure significantly increased.
  • Institutional access to Bitcoin enhanced through ETFs.

Hal Finney’s iconic “Running bitcoin” tweet on January 11, 2009, coincides with the U.S. SEC’s approval of the first Bitcoin spot ETFs, marking a 15-year milestone.

This alignment emphasizes Bitcoin’s evolution from a niche concept to a mainstream financial asset, boosting institutional interest and potentially driving significant market liquidity and exposure.

Bitcoin Spot ETFs Launch Amid Institutional Interest Surge

The SEC’s approval of the first U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs represents a historic milestone for digital asset markets. These ETFs, including Grayscale Bitcoin Trust’s conversion and BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, began trading on major U.S. exchanges.

Institutional interest is expected to rise as spot Bitcoin ETFs provide regulated avenues for BTC investment. This change can impact market liquidity and pricing dynamics as funds increase their BTC accumulations.

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

The post A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. KPop Demon Hunters Netflix Everyone has wondered what may be the next step for KPop Demon Hunters as an IP, given its record-breaking success on Netflix. Now, the answer may be something exactly no one predicted. According to a new filing with the MPA, something called Debut: A KPop Demon Hunters Story has been rated PG by the ratings body. It’s listed alongside some other films, and this is obviously something that has not been publicly announced. A short film could be well, very short, a few minutes, and likely no more than ten. Even that might be pushing it. Using say, Pixar shorts as a reference, most are between 4 and 8 minutes. The original movie is an hour and 36 minutes. The “Debut” in the title indicates some sort of flashback, perhaps to when HUNTR/X first arrived on the scene before they blew up. Previously, director Maggie Kang has commented about how there were more backstory components that were supposed to be in the film that were cut, but hinted those could be explored in a sequel. But perhaps some may be put into a short here. I very much doubt those scenes were fully produced and simply cut, but perhaps they were finished up for this short film here. When would Debut: KPop Demon Hunters theoretically arrive? I’m not sure the other films on the list are much help. Dead of Winter is out in less than two weeks. Mother Mary does not have a release date. Ne Zha 2 came out earlier this year. I’ve only seen news stories saying The Perfect Gamble was supposed to come out in Q1 2025, but I’ve seen no evidence that it actually has.
