<p>“Bitcoin ETF may get approval by the end of 2023, there are 75% chances of getting approval”, Stated Eric Balchunas over social media platforms. The statement was made after the recent Grayscale victory against the federal securities regulator.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Grayscale Bitcoin Trust is one of the biggest BTC funds traded over the counter, with approximately $14 Billion in assets under control. The Trust terminated material agreements with its partners in October 2022. By November 16, 2022, the Trust paused withdrawals, stating unpredictable market conditions collapsing the cryptocurrency exchange FTX.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> 
<p>“The court collectively rejected SEC’s arguments, as a result, the agency is facing troubles in further justifying the case”, stated James Seyffart and Elliot Stein, Bloomberg analysts on August 30. Grayscale won an SEC lawsuit for<a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2023/08/31/sec-is-ambiguous-of-bitcoin-etf-approval-is-the-market-ready/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Bitcoin ETF </a>review.</p> 
<p>On June 29, 2022, the SEC refused Grayscale’s request to transfer GBTC into a spot ETF.
