"Bitcoin ETFs: SEC Approval 15 Years After Hal Finney's Tweet Signals Shift in Regulatory Attitude"

Exactly 15 years after Hal Finney's iconic "Running Bitcoin" tweet, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the first spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) for bitcoin, marking a significant milestone in the cryptocurrency's journey. This approval allows financial giants like BlackRock and Fidelity, as well as Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust, to offer regulated products for investors to gain exposure to bitcoin without the need for managing a cryptocurrency wallet. The move signals bitcoin's increasing adoption in traditional financial circles and its potential for widespread growth as an alternative asset.

"New Analysis Debunks Hal Finney as Satoshi Nakamoto, Jameson Lopp Expresses Doubt"

New analysis suggests that Bitcoin pioneer Hal Finney cannot be Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin. Evidence has emerged showing that Finney was participating in a 10-mile race at the same time that Satoshi was responding to emails and transacting on Bitcoin. Additionally, on-chain data and Finney's health issues further cast doubt on the theory. While there are objections to the evidence, the analysis argues that Bitcoin's creation came from a single developer. Hal Finney, who passed away in 2014, denied being Satoshi until his death.
