“Concerning ETH ETF approval, we’re holding the road at 25% odds though to be trustworthy, it’s a very pessimistic 25%. The shortage of engagement appears to be purposeful vs. procrastination. No optimistic indicators/intel wherever you look. Personally hope they do approve it however it simply ain’t trying good.”
