<p>Although the official decision on the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF is due by August 13, the SEC is likely to announce its verdict on August 12, given the 13th falls on a Sunday.</p> 
<p>This ETF, with its earlier deadline, might gain a competitive edge. However, concerns about market manipulation and investor protection pose challenges to Bitcoin ETF approval.</p>
