On October 12, Grayscale CEO Michael Sonnenshein said the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had broken the Administrative Procedures Act during an appearance with CNBC's "Squawk Box" (APA). The Bitcoin spot ETF and Bitcoin futures ETF are being treated differently by the SEC.
He thinks that the underlying Bitcoin market drives the pricing of both Bitcoin futures ETFs and Bitcoin spot ETFs. The SEC's discriminatory decision to prevent Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) from becoming a spot Bitcoin ETF. Additionally, like Bitcoin futures ETFs, the GBTC would get its price from the Bitcoin market.
Additionally, according to Grayscale CEO Michael Sonnenshein, it is critical to address the dispute between the SEC and CFTC over jurisdiction over cryptocurrency. The opinions of the two regulators on cryptocurrency varied. The controversy or problem can hurt the GBTC.
The leaders of the cryptocurrency industry have recently sought bipartisan support for the cryptocurrency asset class. In the United States Congress, numerous bills are being discussed.

According to Grayscale CEO Michael Sonnenshein, efforts are being made to protect investors and promote innovation and global competitiveness. He thinks that the rapidly emerging use cases for cryptocurrencies make the job of regulators difficult. As a result, the industry's players are educating lawmakers about the new asset class and its application.
