Bitcoin ETF Approval Likelihood

The likelihood of an Ethereum ETF approval is discussed, with insights suggesting a decreasing probability for May. This trend is attributed to a lack of direct engagement between applicants and the SEC, as seen in previous successful Bitcoin ETF filings. The expectation of engagement in late April would signal increased chances of approval.
