Bitcoin on a roller coaster after SEC drama

Shortly after the market close on Tuesday, the SEC's X account posted an announcement that it had approved bitcoin ETFs to begin trading, something that has been widely anticipated by the crypto market. That post was made by an imposter and was deleted soon after. About 15 minutes after SEC's imposter post, SEC chair Gary Gensler said from his X account that no bitcoin ETFs had been approved. “The SEC’s @SECGov X/Twitter account has been compromised. The unauthorized tweet regarding bitcoin ETFs was not made by the SEC or its staff,” an SEC spokesperson told CNBC. The price of bitcoin briefly spiked after the initial post, but then quickly slid below $46,000. Source: Bloomberg, CNBC, HolgerZ
