Yes, welcome back everybody to altcoin daily, my name's austin in today's video. I want to share with you the latest news involving bitcoin involving elon, musk and twitter, involving higher cap crypto coins, lower cap crypto coins and, much more so like always check the timestamps down below. In the video description hit the like button and let's jump in starting with bitcoin grayscale renews push with the sec for a bitcoin spot etf. The securities and exchange commission has so far approved only btc, futures, etfs and, of course, the biggest difference on why spot etfs are so much better is because the contracts have to be settled in real bitcoin, meaning that the etf has to buy and own real bitcoin. Instead of the futures, where you can just speculate on the future price and you never actually have to own the btc and based on some new information, grayscale is a very confident that this one will be approved and here's.
Why, in a letter sent last week to the sec, seen by the financial times, grayscale's attorneys argued that the manner in which the regulatory agency, the sec, approved the fourth bitcoin futures etf techrium earlier this month, opened the door for a bitcoin spot etf. So here is the precedent that they say the sec just set and it has to do with the 1940s act versus the 1933 act. This is gon na sound, maybe very complicated, but here's. The explanation, grayscale's attorneys, argue the point that the first three bitcoin futures etfs were approved by the sec under the investment company act of 1940. However, the techrium etf was approved under the securities act of 1933, which is a first and according to grayscale's attorneys.
We believe the tequim order confirms the fundamental point that when it comes to approving exchange-traded products, there is no basis for treating spot bitcoin products differently from bitcoin futures products wow. This could be the bitcoin catalyst we have been waiting for. If this gets approved, the sec will likely decide on grayscale's etf application by july of this year and just weeks ago, grayscale ceo did state that he'd consider suing the sec if the bid gets rejected. So this is all coming to a head, something to keep on the radar next piece of news involving elon musk, twitter and the crypto market dogecoin surges on reports that twitter will now consider elon, musk's buyout offer and actually right in the middle of taping of filming. This today, twitter and elon musk will reach a deal on a buyout to be announced shortly.
So this is happening, and this is happening today and how did the crypto market respond? Well, the popular memecoin dogecoin jumped more than 12 percent in the past hour. Following the reports on this buyout and actually twitter stock also jumped more than five percent, actually much more than that.

The fraudulent link claimed that users could meant to land in the board api club's upcoming, other side meta, which is due to launch later next week, so in their upcoming metaverse, that we don't really have that.
