Notably, investor Fred Krueger highlighted the importance of this decision, emphasizing its significance in the crypto world.
Krueger pointed out that individuals at ETF trading desks have received clear instructions not to undermine what Michael Saylor referred to as the most impactful financial product in three decades.

The final decision on the Bitcoin ETF is expected in approximately three weeks, with January 10th serving as the ultimate deadline for this pivotal event.
