SEC lawsuit. As a reminder, in June last year, the regulator refused to allow Grayscale to convert its Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) into a BTC spot ETF. Deaton wrote that he will be on the lookout for the Grayscale v. SEC case verdict this week. In case Grayscale wins, crypto will gain even bigger momentum than it currently has.

"The surprise will be if the SEC doesn't lose," he concludes.
