Would have been surprised if it were the other way round - imagine asking the authorities to put their stamp on Bitcoin. They don't dislike Bitcoin for nothing, it is actually a threat to their survival and relevance and I don't see them undoing themselves.

One commenter states that the market for bitcoin, by trade volume, is very shallow. This
commenter notes that the majority of bitcoin is hoarded by a few owners or is out of circulation.
The commenter also notes that ownership concentration is high, with 50 percent of bitcoin in the
hands of fewer than 1,000 people, and that this high ownership concentration creates greater
market liquidity risk, as large blocks of bitcoin are difficult to sell in a timely and market
efficient manner. This commenter claims that daily trade volume is only a small fraction of total
bitcoin mined.
This commenter also states that several fundamental flaws make bitcoin a
dangerous asset class to force into an exchange traded structure, including shallow trade volume,
extreme hoarding, low liquidity, hyper price volatility, a global web of unregulated bucket-shop
exchanges, high bankruptcy risk, and oversized exposure to trading in countries where there is no
regulatory oversight.

Yeah, thanks to such "commenters".. Did the SEC got that commenter in the Trump team ?
No. It was that loser Prof. BitKorn himself ... he of the "bitcoin is going to $10 fame".

$700 a coin HERE WE COME!
I doubt that will happen. Firstly, the price is steadying around the $1,050 mark, not some sort of crash. Secondly, this is a failure, but nothing major. Just a company failing to get started. Even when Mt. Gox exited, leaving hundreds of thousands (millions?) robbed of bitcoin, the price of bitcoin only went down about 20-30%. However, the ETF failure is a big shame, and it's not very surprising that the SEC denied this suggested amendment. After all, WHO would be disadvantaged if Bitcoin grew stronger?
Oh shittlz! 
All that for nuthin'
All that for nuthin'
$700 a coin HERE WE COME!
Already down 8%.
There she blows....
