The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chose to avoid engaging in another legal dispute with Grayscale Investments, a prominent digital asset management firm. The appeals court will soon specify how this decision should be executed, likely involving an instruction for the SEC to reevaluate Grayscale\u2019s application.<\/p>\n

ETF analyst James Seyffart confirmed that discussions between Grayscale and the SEC will commence next week, with a new SEC response anticipated within the next two weeks.<\/p>\n

1. Done deal I guess if this is accurate. No en banc application<\/p>\n
2. No. I do not think they will appeal to the Supreme Court either. <\/p>\n
3. Dialogue between Grayscale and SEC should begin next week. Hoping for more info on next steps sometime next week or week after? https:\/\/t.co\/2EayzqeKGq<\/a><\/p>\n

This development fueled anticipation of the potential impact on Bitcoin. However, the immediate market response to the news was relatively muted, with Bitcoin prices seeing only a slight 0.15% increase in the last 24 hours.<\/p>\n
The coin briefly touched $27k following the news, but was exchanging hands at $26,867 at press time<\/p>\n
Simultaneously, the excitement surrounding the ETF approval was on the rise, evidenced by a 38% increase in social mentions and engagements for BTC. However, despite this surge in excitement, the weighted sentiment for Bitcoin showed a decline.<\/p>\n

Hodlers of Bitcoin also remained consistent. According to Glassnode\u2019s data, the amount of HODLed Bitcoins has reached a five-year high of 7,906,288.227 BTC.<\/p>\n
This implied strong confidence in Bitcoin\u2019s long-term value, as these users are essentially locking up their assets for extended periods.<\/p>\n
