The media outlet cites multiple sources familiar with the matter.
ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF, the very first ETF in the line, is now expected to start trading as early as next week.
Like I said tho until these little F-ers (ETFs) are literally trading on the exchange I’m not ready to close this case. But odds now over 90% IMO.

The approval would mark a significant milestone for the industry that has been attempting to launch a Bitcoin ETF since 2013 without any luck.
