💰 Better Markets CEO Warns SEC Against Bitcoin ETF Approval, Citing Fraud Risks 🚨💡
In a bold move, Dennis M. Kelleher, CEO of Better Markets, a non-profit organization, is urging the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to exercise caution in approving a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF).
