According to The BlockBeats: Selected sources suggest that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is set to approve Bitcoin spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) in early 2024. According to a report by BlockBeats on December 24, officials from the SEC have reportedly met with representatives from at least seven issuers looking to launch Bitcoin spot ETFs during this period.

Regarding the partnership between ARK Investments and 21 Shares, the SEC will decide whether to greenlight or decline their joint proposal come January 10 next year. Most issuers are apparently expecting the SEC to approve multiple applications simultaneously prior to the deadline.

Executives from two of the issuers indicate that the SEC is mandating they submit their final revised applications by or before December 29. Those who fail to meet this deadline will miss out on the opportunity to be part of the first wave of approved companies coming early January.

These forthcoming ETFs have the potential to usher in a new era for Bitcoin investments, making it more accessible to a broader pool of investors and potentially driving up the demand and price of the cryptocurrency.

According to CoinDesk, UK Finance Minister Jeremy Hunt has agreed to have his ministry discuss the banking troubles faced by crypto companies in the country with lawmakers focused on the issue. This comes as the UK introduced and passed legislation recognizing crypto and stablecoins as regulated financial activities, in line with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's plans to turn the country into a hub for crypto. Despite the new regulatory status, firms have found it difficult to interact with local banks.

Lisa Cameron, head of an All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for crypto and digital assets, asked Hunt if he would be willing to discuss why regulated companies are struggling to open bank accounts. Hunt responded, stating that the UK, particularly London, has become the global crypto hub, but regulation is needed for the market to take off responsibly. He agreed to have the new Economic Secretary of the Treasury, Bim Afolami, meet with the APPG to discuss progress.

Fellow Binancians,
Binance is excited to announce the 41st project on Binance Launchpool - NFPrompt (NFP), an AI-driven User Generated Content (UGC) platform for Web3 creators. The webpage is estimated to be available in 5 hours, before the Launchpool starts.
Users will be able to stake their BNB, FDUSD and TUSD into separate pools to farm NFP tokens over seven days, with farming starting from 2023-12-20 00:00 (UTC).
Listing
Binance will then list NFP at 2023-12-27 10:00 (UTC) and open trading with NFP/BTC, NFP/USDT, NFP/BNB, NFP/FDUSD, NFP/TUSD and NFP/TRY trading pairs. The Seed Tag will be applied to NFP.
About Fair Mode
Fair Mode is a new model launched by Binance Launchpool. Designed to protect and maximize the interests of the community and retail users, Fair Mode will allot significantly more tokens to the community under its initial circulation phase, and all Launchpool tokens will be released before the listing. Additionally, Fair Mode will permanently prevent some allocation from entering circulation to further reduce inflation pressure. For more details, please refer to Exploring Tokenomics Models and Developments.

Please note:
Snapshots of user balances and total pool balances will be taken multiple times at any point of time each hour to get users’ hourly average balances and calculate user rewards. User rewards will be updated each hour. Users will be able to accumulate their rewards (calculated each hour) and claim these rewards directly to their spot accounts at any time.Each pool’s annual percentage yield (APY) and total pool balance will be updated in real time.Tokens can only be staked in one pool at a time. For example, User A cannot stake the same BNB into two different pools at the same time, but can allocate 50% of their BNB into pool A and 50% into pool B.Users will be able to unstake their funds at any time with no delay and participate in any other available pools immediately.Tokens staked in each pool and any unclaimed rewards will be automatically transferred to each user’s spot accounts at the end of each farming period.Binance BNB Vault and Locked Products will support the Launchpool. Users who have staked their BNB in BNB Vault and Locked Products will automatically participate in the Launchpool, and receive new token rewards.
If there are more than one Launchpool projects running concurrently, users' BNB assets in BNB Vault and Locked Products will be split and allocated into each project equally unless otherwise specified.BNB Vault assets collateralizing against Binance Loans (Flexible Rate) are not entitled to Launchpool rewards.
