From Nasdaq:

Ben Armstrong has set out to achieve what no one has done before: secure approval for a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). The cryptocurrency influencer plans to go to Washington D.C. in an attempt to push the approval forward, with a timeline to get an Ethereum ETF approved shortly after. Bitcoin surged past $47,000 in anticipation of the potential approval of a spot-based BTC ETF. This push for approval comes amid tension between Armstrong and the platform he founded, BitBoy Crypto. Armstrong was also implicated in an alarming incident in September 2023. At the time of writing, BTC was trading at $46,703.35, up 7% on Tuesday.
