Outcome

Accurate Happened 14 March 2024.

The SEC approved US spot bitcoin ETFs on Jan 10, 2024, and they drew about $36-37 billion of net inflows in their first year, far above most forecasts; BlackRock's IBIT became the fastest ETF ever to $10 billion and $50 billion in assets. Bitcoin rose from about $43,000 to a record above $73,000 by mid-March 2024, consistent with a demand shock.
