SEC Bitcoin ETF Decision from yesterday

From Coin Base:
"U.S. regulators approved bitcoin ETFs, dramatically broadening access to the 15-year-old cryptocurrency.

The Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday declared effective key filings from the markets seeking to list the groundbreaking products. They will begin trading on Thursday.

Bitcoin's price topped $47,500 following the decision. Other cryptocurrencies rallied, too."
