Topic: Bitcoin ETF within the next 4 weeks (Read 674 times)
The First Trust Bitcoin Strategy ETF, the First Trust Inverse Bitcoin Strategy ETF, the GraniteShares Bitcoin ETF, the GraniteShares Short Bitcoin ETF, the REX Bitcoin Strategy ETF and the REX Short Bitcoin Strategy ETF. The proposed rule changes were filed with the SEC between Dec. 15 and Dec. 19. The pace of the filings is notable given that Cboe launched its first bitcoin futures contracts 11 days ago, with the first of the ETF filing coming just days after the product first went live. Compared to past bitcoin-related ETF efforts, the six in question would track the performance of futures rather than the digital asset itself. That latter approach, seen in submissions like the long-running one from investors Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, has run into repeated opposition from the SEC. The agency had cast a critical eye on the state of the cryptocurrency market when it rejected the Winklevoss ETF last spring, though the SEC has since moved to review of that decision.
what is this tweet from yesterday and what is that big news for bitcoin?
These insider news 'revelations' usually turn out to be an acquisition of some website that has a price ticker that looks like a pair of tits or something by some other website no one's ever heard of. Formal announcements are the new black these days.

yes, i probably mixed some infos (sry) but i also noticed that tweet too. maybe they have a connection.
Did anyone actually look at the tweet in the OP?
It's from January 2015
That's more than a year ago.
Clearly it isn't accurate. Not sure why is was posted here at all (other than to troll those that don't pay attention).

The link to that tweet is here
The comments left 4 weeks after the tweet show he lost a big chunk of credibility making it. The "@BitfuryGeorge was talking shit as expected" comment below says it all.
Newsbtc picked up on his tweet and pointed out that shortly after it was made the New York Times DealBook confirmed the Winklevoss twins would be creating the first regulated Bitcoin exchange for Americans. It's here a year later and proved to be not very popular yet.

Initial reaction to the Tweet was cagey, with a number of his followers suggesting that – unless this announcement came into being – it could seriously damage Kikvadze’s credibility. Well, today, it looks as though his announcement has been at least somewhat validated n- by the Winklevoss twins.
An article in the New York Times DealBook (reported early morning GMT (23rd) – late evening EST (22nd) has confirmed that the Winklevoss twins will be creating the first regulated bitcoin exchange for American customers – referred to by the digital currency enthusiasts as the NASDAQ of bitcoins. While not exactly the exchange traded fund Kikvadze referred to (as this –initially at least – looks to be autonomous from NASDAQ and an ETF, not an exchange) the timing of both announcements looks to be far from coincidental.

So how are they going to earn interest, and what's the management charge.
It looks a bit gimmicky to me - as someone said, better to buy your own coins.

it was a tweet from the Bitfury CEO. i guess you know this firm too
Surely not, I thought this was going to take years to get approved?
Are you on about the Winklevoss's attempt?

That is good news for investors. But I prefer to hold the bitcoin myself. I can use it as I wish to buy things.
