The first is:Hong Kong is expected to approve spot Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as early as next week. The approvals are pending from the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing Ltd. The ETFs are expected to launch by the end of the month, pending finalizing listing details. The approval process has reportedly been accelerated to meet the growing demand for crypto investment products. This move comes after the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US, which has sparked a revival in crypto markets.
Next news: The upcoming Bitcoin halving event, scheduled for April 20, 2024, is expected to have a significant impact on the cryptocurrency market.

Bitcoin whales are accumulating $BTC ahead of the halving, indicating a bullish sentiment. However, some analysts believe that the halving may already be priced in due to the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs and the influx of institutional capital into the market.
