#**Why Bitcoin ETF is postponed...? 🍂
Approval of Bitcoin ETF by the Securities and Exchange Commission is not an easy task, hence it is highly probable that they might postpone, in order to gain maximum time for their decision.
#**Whats next....??
These delays aren't overly negative for Bitcoin; in fact, given that one SEC commissioner dissented from the regulator's decision to reject the Winklevoss brothers' proposal for a Bitcoin ETF, the fact that the SEC needs more time to make a decision on another proposal might be a positive sign for Bitcoin proponents.
