Reading Time: < 1 minute

JPMorgan analysts now believe the SEC will have no choice but to approve some applications for a Bitcoin ETF, which is based on spot prices rather than the futures-based products currently on the market.

The analysts caution, however, that this change in stance might not be game-changing for the crypto market, given the low interest it has so far received in jurisdictions where the product is permitted.
