BlackRock and Bitwise have recently updated their filings for spot <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/bitcoin-price-prediction-as-btc-breaches-40000-level-for-the-first-time-in-18-months.htm">Bitcoin</a> <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/bitcoin-etf-decision-dates-approach-what-to-expect-in-january.htm">exchange-traded funds</a> (ETFs) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These frequent amendments may signal pivotal progress. 
In its most recent updated submission, <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/sec-holds-meetings-with-grayscale-blackrock-on-bitcoin-etfs.htm">BlackRock</a>, the asset management giant, filed an amended S-1 filing with the SEC for its proposed spot Bitcoin ETF. This move reflects BlackRock’s ongoing commitment to launching a Bitcoin ETF, a monumental product that has seen heightened interest from investors and the broader financial community. 
Similarly, <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/bitwise-has-no-connection-with-now-defunct-bitwise-industries.htm">Bitwise</a>, another major player in the digital asset management space, has also filed an amended application for its Bitcoin ETF just before BlackRock did. This update aligns with Bitwise’s strategic efforts to introduce a bitcoin ETF to the market, catering to the growing demand among investors for listed crypto investment options.

 “They’re just pouring in,” said Bloomberg Intelligence ETF analyst <a href="https://twitter.com/JSeyff/status/1731804911350804573">James Seyffart</a>. “What does this mean? Without having read them — it just means that the wheel is still turning.” 
Leading financial establishments like BlackRock and Grayscale have been <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/sec-holds-meetings-with-grayscale-blackrock-on-bitcoin-etfs.htm">meeting with the SEC</a> regarding their Bitcoin ETF filings. On Nov.28, the SEC officials met with BlackRock and the Nasdaq, as indicated by a memorandum. According to the memo’s note, BlackRock revised its In-Kind model design to address to the SEC’s concerns and “unresolved” questions regarding the model. 
“Both the SEC and these issuers are working hard to iron things out,” said Seyffart. “These filings are likely the result of many conversations and a lot of man hours on/between both sides.”

digital gold <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#bitcoin</a> will surely flip physical gold sooner or later; and probably this halving cycle. so within a year or two. currently it'd take $700k/BTC but it maybe partially a substitute (some people start selling gold to buy <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#bitcoin</a> crossing the market caps below that).

According to Blockstream CEO Adam Back, Bitcoin could <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/blockstream-ceo-adam-back-predicts-700k-bitcoin-within-2-years-heres-how.htm">hit a shocking $700,000</a> within two years. “Digital gold #bitcoin will surely flip physical gold sooner or later; and probably this halving cycle,” said Back.
