Bitcoin (BTC-USD) price predictions are a hot topic among crypto traders today after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Grayscale’s plan for a BTC spot exchange traded fund (ETF).

Grayscale was seeking to transform its Bitcoin Trust, GBTC, into an ETF for Bitcoin before the SEC rejected its application. According to the organization, Grayscale doesn’t have the protections for the ETF under its current proposal.

Now the company says it plans to sue the SEC for rejecting its Bitcoin ETF application. To this end, it’s filed a petition with the U.S. Court of Appeals for District of Columbia Circuit. The company argues that the SEC isn’t offering the same treatment to similar investment vehicles. It claims this is violates the Administrative Procedure Act and Securities Exchange Act of 1934, CNBC notes.

The latest news has further hurt the reputation of Bitcoin and that has some investors checking in on the latest price predictions for the crypto. Let’s get into that below!
