<p>The pursuit for a Spot Bitcoin ETF has been a focal point of the crypto sector for the better part of 2023. The market was taken aback when conventional financial giants revealed their intentions by applying with the U.S <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/judge-addresses-multiple-pending-motions-in-binance-vs-sec-lawsuit/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SEC</a>.</p> 
<p>Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital Holdings, has predicted that a spot Bitcoin ETF would be approved by the US SEC this year. In an interview with CNBC, Novogratz expressed his satisfaction with this forecast.</p> 
<p>The Grayscale Court win against the agency, Novogratz emphasized, is the single most crucial factor in the forthcoming approval. Moreover, the interest rate decision is expected to be made on November 1st, therefore all eyes are on that day.</p> 
<p>The majority of market participants anticipate no change in interest rates. However, statements indicating that interest rates may be increased again are concerning.</p>
