PANews reported on February 3rd that, according to Cointelegraph, the US ISM Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) unexpectedly rose above 50 in January, the first time since mid-2022. This data has sparked differing opinions among analysts regarding the "reflation" trade and its impact on Bitcoin prices. Andre Dragosch, Head of European Research at Bitwise, believes the PMI rebound is a result of significant increases in gold and silver prices, signifying the formation of a "reflation" environment, which historically has often been accompanied by Bitcoin bull markets. Trader Michaël van de Poppe pointed out that while the PMI broke 50 for the first time in three years, this is not necessarily positive for the business cycle or Bitcoin; previous Bitcoin gains were mainly attributed to liquidity from ETFs, and the market is only now beginning to truly react.

However, trader Titan of Crypto holds a different view. He compared PMI data with Bitcoin price movements, pointing out that when the PMI rose above 50 in 2013, 2016, and 2020, Bitcoin exhibited a hidden bullish divergence, subsequently initiating a bull market; while this current PMI rebound is accompanied by a typical bearish divergence. He believes that the same indicator with different structures can lead to different results. The current data paints an unclear picture of the US inflation path, and the market is concerned that inflation may rebound in 2026.

SEC New Standards to Simplify Crypto ETF Listings

SEC New Standards to Simplify Crypto ETF Listings

The post SEC New Standards to Simplify Crypto ETF Listings appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved a new standard for crypto ETF listings on Wednesday. The standard is created to simplify the working of exchanges in terms of the process followed for crypto ETP listings. This makes it possible to to avoid the cumbersome route of case-by-case approval being followed so far. With this change, exchanges can bypass the 19(b) rule filing process. It is a review that can stretch up to 240 days and demands direct SEC approval before an ETF can launch. Instead of going through the tedious and lengthy review process, the SEC has set up a system that allows exchanges to act more quickly. Now, when an ETF issuer presents a product idea to exchanges like Nasdaq, NYSE, or CBOE, the exchange can move ahead as long as the proposal meets the generic listing standard. This means that strategies based on a single token or a basket of tokens can be listed without waiting for individual approval. New Standards Will Ease Crypto ETF Listings: SEC Chairman According to the Chairman of the SEC, Paul Atkins, this move is aimed at making it easier for investors to access digital asset products through regulated U.S. markets. He noted that by approving generic listing standards, the agency is helping U.S. capital markets remain a global leader in digital asset innovation. At the same time, the SEC approved the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund, a fund made up of Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Cardano and Solana. Furthermore, the SEC also approved a new type of options linked to the Cboe Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index and its mini version. This step further expands the range of crypto-linked derivatives available in regulated U.S. markets. How Will SEC General Listing Standard Impact Altcoin Crypto ETF Market?
