SEC sets Dec. 29 deadline for spot Bitcoin ETF amendments

The anticipation for a first spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) for the US market is set to rise further this week. This is after it emerged that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has asked all applicants seeking to list the ETF to file amendments to their filings by December 29, 2023.

SEC’s reported deadline for applicants comes after the regulator held multiple meetings with various firms looking to offer spot Bitcoin ETFs last week.

At least two companies were reportedly asked to submit final changes to their appplications by the stated date. Participants during the last meeting with the SEC were told that any applicant that fails to file final amendements by this Friday should not expect to be among the “first wave” of potential approvals.

Confirming the date for final amendments to all S-1s by Friday the 29th.

While the crypto market buzz has cooled amid the holiday trading lull and as Mt.Gox reportedly begins to repay some of its creditors, the overall outlook is that Bitcoin is poised for a prolonged dose of upside pressure.

The altcoin market is similarly poised, and investors out to unlock the next bull cycle gem are betting big on low cap bargain tokens.

Shiba Memu: On the cusp of presale success

Meme tokens have exploded onto the scene in recent months, with resurgences for Dogecoin and Shiba Inu paled by the explosive surge for Solana-based Bonk (BONK). But with the market in the mood for a longer bull rally catalysed by Bitcoin ETFs and halving, investors keen on tapping into the potential of Shiba Memu are flocking to its presale.

The project, which outlines a new artificial intelligence powered meme coin with real-world utility, is now just three days to the presale close. As of December 27, 2023, investors have allocated over $4.8 million into SHMU to support the project’s development.

After the presale, Shiba Memu is expected to make its market debut on top crypto exchanges, likely entering the market during the forecast upward trajectory in Q1, 2024. The unique AI-powered marketing dashboard, staking program and integration with decentralised applications (dApps) is also outlined on the roadmap.

SHMU is currently priced at $0.05028 and could be one of the top meme coins to buy given its potential to redefine how meme-inspired crypto projects gain long term traction. Rather than rely on hype, Shiba Memu will be a self-sufficient marketing machine, capable of challenging the top tokens such as Dogecoin and Shiba Inu.
