Summary
I bought Bitcoin ahead of SEC ruling in anticipation of approval of Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust ETF.
A vague SEC document seems to imply approval.
Total Bitcoin market cap is around $20 billion.
I'm confident the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will approve the Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust ETF (Pending:COIN) by Monday.
The following SEC memo about a Feb. 14 meeting between SEC officials and the Winklevoss Twins implies the SEC plans for approval of the Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust ETF. The Memo was released and dated Feb. 22. There were 25 people at the meeting.
The SEC memo is from Neel Maitra, Attorney-Adviser Office of Market Supervision, Division of Trading and Markets U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. "The discussion concerned Bats BZX Exchange, Inc.'s proposed rule change to list and trade, pursuant to BZX Rule 14.11(e)(4), shares issued by the Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust," the memo says.
