The SEC said the approval of the ETFs were meant
to make it easier for investors to gain exposure to
Bitcoin without having to actually own the digital coins.
NBC reports that the world of crypto is also banking
on a potential rally following a technical event
known as "halving" scheduled to occur in April.
This event will see the rate of supply for new bitcoin
to decline, which could cause the value of the
cryptocurrency to increase if demand remains unchanged.
Some mainstream investment experts have
still urged caution when it comes to investing
in the controversial cryptocurrency.

SEC's New , Climate Disclosure Rules , Facing Multiple Lawsuits.
'Newsweek' reports that both industry and
environmental groups have legally challenged the
Securities and Exchange Commission over new rules. .
The new rules require some businesses to disclose
information about climate risks, including direct
greenhouse gas emissions and risks from extreme weather.
The SEC rules, which were approved on March 6 by a 3-2 vote,
also require companies to provide investors with context
on how those companies plan on managing those risks.
Some requirements were pared back prior to the rules
being approved. Those rules include reporting on Scope 3
emissions which relate to the company's supply chain.
In response to the new rules, two fossil fuel producing
companies filed lawsuits accusing the SEC of burdening
companies and exposing them to potential litigation.
19 state attorney generals have also
filed lawsuits claiming that the new rules
exceed the SEC's legal authority.
On the other side, environmental groups the Sierra Club
Foundation and Earthjustice announced their own lawsuits
accusing the SEC of watering down rules to protect investors.
Sierra Club has millions of members
and supporters who have investments
in the market. It's really critical that
we have access to information about
climate risks that may be faced
by the kinds of entities that
we would hope to invest in, Andres Restrepo, Sierra Club Senior Attorney, via Newsweek.
'Newsweek' reports that the SEC rules were
meant to take effect in 2026, however, the
legal challenges are likely to result in delays.
The new rules come as the U.S. Supreme Court
has indicated plans to restrict the regulatory
authority of environmental enforcement agencies.

Bitcoin , Tops $63,000.
On Feb. 29, bitcoin advanced more than
5% to $63,252.82, CNBC reports.
The day before, the cryptocurrency reached $64,000 and then dropped back to $60,000.
For the month of February,
bitcoin is currently up 47%.
The figure represents a
sixth consecutive month of gains.
The last time that the currency had a similar showing was in December 2020, at which time it rose 49.5%.
On Feb. 28, bitcoin ETFs had "a record
$677 million in daily net inflows," CNBC reports. .
We’ve seen over $2 billion coming into
the various bitcoin ETFs so there’s been this
need to access more supply of bitcoin to build
these ETFs and that ends up driving prices
up particularly in the near term. , Sylvia Jablonski, CEO and chief investment officer
at Defiance ETFs, via CNBC.
The second reason why you might
be getting some extra momentum
in the price over the last couple
of days is the upcoming halving, Sylvia Jablonski, CEO and chief investment officer
at Defiance ETFs, via CNBC.
Historically the halving has led to bitcoin
prices increasing … past performance is not
indicative of future performance, but I do think
there’s this belief that the halving process will
result in the same level of price appreciation, Sylvia Jablonski, CEO and chief investment officer
at Defiance ETFs, via CNBC.
Bitcoin's next "halving" is
scheduled for this April
