Gary Gensler, the chair of the SEC, reveals that the agency’s X (formerly Twitter) account was compromised, spreading false news about the approval of a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF).

“The SEC gov Twitter account was compromised, and an unauthorized tweet was posted,” Gensler posted.

Gensler Declares The Bitcoin ETF Announcement is False

On X, Gensler announced a compromise of the SEC’s social media account, alerting the significant following to the regulator’s approval of the spot Bitcoin ETF, a highly anticipated decision expected this week.

“The SEC has not approved the listing and trading of spot bitcoin exchange-traded products.”

This is a developing story, and more information will be added shortly.

Investors such as Tom Lee have publicly supported the company, with institutions optimistic about strong order backlogs extending to 2028, robust revenue growth, and opportunities created by declining valuations. Meanwhile, institutions like Bernstein and Goldman Sachs have become more cautious about Nvidia's outlook, with concerns focusing on management succession and technological leadership following Jensen Huang's departure.

From SpaceX to Anthropic, the market has new strategies for dealing with tech giants' IPOs

The market's response strategies to major listings are currently centered around "index inclusion expectations": the new regulations allow mega IPOs to be included in the six major indices within 15 days, triggering concentrated buying by passive funds. Investors are positioning themselves in advance and using options to hedge and amplify buying power. However, Anthropic has a free float of only about 6%; shares available for sale by employees on the first day and privately placed shares with no lock-up period may create supply pressure. On the other hand, index arbitrageurs are facing a rare opportunity.
