From the resolution of the New York Attorney General's injunction against Bitfinex and Tether to the final decisions of the long-awaited cryptocurrency ETFs, here's a list of some of the most relevant dates in the crypto industry to keep an eye on.
While a potentially unlawful loan Bitfinex took from its sister company Tether might not seem like a major milestone for the crypto industry, the court's decision has the potential to sway the crypto market.
Since the news was announced, Bitcoin has gained more than $1,000 in price, pushing the rest of the market into the green.
Oct. 13: SEC makes the final decision on Bitwise Bitcoin ETFs.
The first few weeks of October will most likely see the race for Bitcoin ETFs reach its end.
With the first proposal filed at the beginning of the year, Bitwise has spent the better part of 2019 dealing with constant delays and extensions from the SEC. The Commission continued to cite concerns such as market manipulation, market surveillance and divergence with futures trading as being the main issues it was so reluctant to approve any ETFs so far.
While the SEC is also expected to make decisions regarding other ETFs, the decision regarding Bitwise will be made first.
Oct. 18: SEC rules on whether to pass VanEck/SolidX ETFs.
Just 5 days after the Commission makes its decision on Bitwise's ETFs, it's expected to issue its verdict on the ETFs proposed by Cboe.
If the SEC approved the proposal, it would allow the Cboe BZX Exchange to list shares of a joint Bitcoin ETF trust.
