We don\u2019t see them in the spot market, so we\u2019re going to make that distinction\u2019. I think what the institutions are arguing is that those distinctions have gone away and that the spot product is now less drag, more efficient for the investor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">With no delta in regulation and efficacy, the SEC will have to approve a first spot Bitcoin ETF for the US market. As highlighted earlier, Clayton believes it would be \u201chard\u201d for SEC to \u201cresist\u201d a spot ETF any further if applicants prove efficacy.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As CoinJournal reported last week, analysts at $650 billion asset manager Bernstein noted that chances of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval are \u201cfairly high.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The crypto market has been largely optimistic of an approval ever since BlackRock filed its proposal in mid-June. The optimism was reflected in the price of Bitcoin rallying after the news to reach a new year-to-date high above $31k last month.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<p>                        Share this articleCategoriesTags\n                    <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/former-sec-chair-says-bitcoin-etf-approval-hard-to-resist\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jay Clayton shared his opinion during an interview with CNBC on Monday.
