Gary Gensler, the chair of the SEC, reveals that the agency’s X (formerly Twitter) account was compromised, spreading false news about the approval of a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF).
“The SEC gov Twitter account was compromised, and an unauthorized tweet was posted,” Gensler posted.

On X, Gensler announced a compromise of the SEC’s social media account, alerting the significant following to the regulator’s approval of the spot Bitcoin ETF, a highly anticipated decision expected this week.
“The SEC has not approved the listing and trading of spot bitcoin exchange-traded products.”
This is a developing story, and more information will be added shortly.
