"We squandered a decade of opportunities to do our job. If we had applied the standard we use for other commodity-based ETPs, we could have approved these products years ago, but we refused to do so until a court called our bluff."

Why would they post that on their very own website?

nostr:npub18k4f6lqm9uleq8hpvkp90lej20rh6nqzy3twc2483pqawpls04as4wtqjr Because Hester Pierce started arguing and advocating for it long ago and kept her stance. Now she rightfully puts a finger into the wound of lack of honesty by the rest of the SEC.

She has more of those based statements, even citing Hayek or the Bitcoin whitepaper.
