On Tuesday afternoon, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler confirmed that the SEC’s Twitter account had been compromised, following false news that a Bitcoin spot ETF had been approved.
The SEC tweeted that “SEC’s X account has been compromised and unauthorized posts have been made. The U.S. SEC has not approved the listing and trading of spot Bitcoin ETF products.”
