What the SEC is setting up this time isn’t just whether the ETF process moves quickly—it’s who can pry open the door first.
I’ve read the news back and forth twice, and the most interesting part isn’t that Grayscale and A16z want to speed things up.
It’s that Jane Street and Charles Schwab—these long-established institutions—are stepping on the brakes.
Think it through and you’ll get it.
Whether filings can be kept secret first determines who gets the first spot.
Whether reviews can be completed faster determines who gets to consume the liquidity first.
In the crypto world, wanting speed is normal.
For traditional institutions, being afraid of things moving too fast is also normal.
They’re not that they can’t understand $BTC —they’re worried that a bunch of flashy new ETFs will charge in early and stir up the market.
Right now, $BTC is hovering near 81184, up 5.2% over the past 24 hours, with a high that touched 82300.
Spot trading volume is 1.57 billion, while futures are already at 18.9 billion—about 12.1 times.
The funding rate is only +0.0079%, not exactly “overheating.”
Open interest is still at 112,892 units, with $BTC pressing down.
What does this chart look like?
Like the car is already on the bridge—foot on the accelerator, while the people inside are still arguing about whether to keep speeding up.
Personally I’m bullish, but not the kind that blindly charges.
If the SEC truly opens the door to confidential filings and speeds up the process, then ETF applications will only get more frequent later. The narrative will keep getting relit, and a leader like $BTC will be the first to capture the sentiment premium.
But if things move too fast, the market can easily get overly excited first.
That’s exactly how I was “educated” the last two times: once the news heated up, I rushed to chase it, and the very next day it got pressed right back.
If it were me now, I’d keep holding spot and see whether it can stay above 80000 for a few more days.
If the funding rate suddenly gets raised aggressively, I’d actually be less inclined to add.
What do you think—the SEC will approve the speeding up this time, or will it keep grinding through the process?
If you can’t take it, don’t get on the train. Anyway, my experience is that I’ve already lost my way to learn.
