But on November 12, the U.S. regulator <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/sec-rejects-vaneck-bitcoin-spot-market-etf-over-price-manipulation-concerns\/\">rejected<\/a> Vaneck\u2019s bitcoin spot ETF and cited a lack of prevention toward \u201cfraudulent and manipulative acts and practices\u201d in the market. The rejection also follows the approval of the first bitcoin ETFs based on the crypto asset\u2019s derivatives markets, specifically futures.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the Proshares Strategy ETF <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/proshares-bitcoin-strategy-etf-debut-captures-close-to-1-billion-in-volume\/\">debut<\/a> captured close to $1 billion in volume and broke records for previously listed exchange-traded funds. Then SEC chairman Gary Gensler <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/gary-gensler-explains-why-sec-approves-bitcoin-futures-etf\/\">told the public<\/a> why the SEC approved a bitcoin futures version of an ETF. After the Vaneck bitcoin spot market ETF rejection, a number of digital currency proponents discussed the situation. The veteran FX and cryptocurrency trader, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peterlbrandt.com\/\">Peter Brandt<\/a>, tweeted on Saturday that bitcoin advocates should disapprove of a bitcoin spot market ETF.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIMO, Bitcoin maximalists should oppose spot [bitcoin] ETFs in [the] U.S.,\u201d Brandt <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PeterLBrandt\/status\/1459576649981194243?s=20\">said<\/a>. Bitcoin\u2019s store of value story depends on its scarcity and even some difficulty to purchase. Let\u2019s not encourage greedy grub-hungry Wall Street to convert <a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/BTC\">BTC<\/a> into a vending machine asset. Say NO to ETFs,\u201d the analyst added.<\/p>\n<h2>Preston Pysh: \u2018Bitcoin Literally Feasts on Corruption and Manipulation\u2019 \u2014Tamping Down Bitcoin Prices via Futures<\/h2>\n<p>Host of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theinvestorspodcast.com\/\">The Investor\u2019s Podcast<\/a> (Bitcoin Fundamentals), <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PrestonPysh\">Preston Pysh<\/a>, also discussed the SEC refusal on social media. \u201cThe SEC is making decisions on the bitcoin spot ETF which benefits hedge funds [and] Wall Street at the expense of retail investors,\u201d Pysh <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PrestonPysh\/status\/1459213068530065408?s=20\">said<\/a>. \u201cGary Gensler, Hester Peirce isn\u2019t this the opposite of what you\u2019re charted to do? We want answers. Your decisions are increasing distrust,\u201d the podcast host noted. Pysh also said bitcoin could care less about the SEC decision and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PrestonPysh\/status\/1459208777551519751?s=20\">stated<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the beauty folks. Bitcoin gives 2 sh*ts about the approval of a spot ETF. It costs nearly nothing to custody and it settles in 10 min. They are fighting a clock \u2013 tick, tock, tick\u2026This thing literally feasts on corruption and manipulation and boy is the plate full.<\/p>\n<p>Some individuals argued that bitcoin futures are easier to manipulate and that\u2019s why the U.S. government has allowed the derivatives version. \u201cThe SEC denied a spot [bitcoin] ETF. Why? Because futures are easier to manipulate IMO,\u201d the Twitter handle dubbed \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MemeSgtSpliff\">Meme Sergeant Spliff<\/a>\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MemeSgtSpliff\/status\/1459298011251621896?s=20\">wrote<\/a>. \u201cThe head of the CFTC admitted they can \u2018tamp down\u2019 silver prices via futures. What do metals [and] bitcoin have in common? Anti inflationary.
