Amidst this fluctuating landscape, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued a fresh warning about the growing ‘Fear of Missing Out’ (FOMO) in the crypto sector, particularly in the context of burgeoning optimism for spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs).
This development comes at a time when Bitcoin is being viewed as a potential catalyst for an unprecedented 6,000% increase in value. However, investors tread cautiously as the market also grapples with the emergence of sophisticated deepfake Bitcoin giveaway scams, notably involving figures like Michael Saylor and his company, Microstrategy.
