Bitcoin spiked more than 5% on Tuesday as market reaction to the latest court ruling dealt the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) another blow.

According to data from CoinGecko, reaction to the regulation news saw the price of Bitcoin across major exchanges rose above $27,600 to its highest level since the August 18 sell-off. BTC traded at around $26,450 at the time of writing, with daily trading volume up 81% to over $16 billion. The upside flip for crypto saw altcoins also gain to push the global crypto market up by about 4% to $1.13 trillion.

Court rules in favour of Grayscale

After a few delays over the past two weeks, the Federal Court on Tuesday, August 29 ruled in favour of Grayscale in an appeal the crypto firm filed against the SEC. The court’s ruling in Grayscale’s petition is that the SEC has to review the application that sought to convert the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) into a spot Bitcoin ETF.

According to the court, SEC’s denial of Grayscale’s GBTC to spot Bitcoin ETF was arbitrary and capricious, with the government agency failing to apply the “fundamental principle of administrative law that agencies must treat like cases alike.” In particular, the regulator failed to adequately explain why they approved two bitcoin futures ETFs but denied Grayscale’s proposal.

Circuit Judge Rao wrote:

“The Commission’s unexplained discounting of the obvious financial and mathematical relationship between the spot and futures markets falls short of the standard for reasoned decisionmaking.”

In granting Grayscale’s petition, the court vacated the SEC’s order, with this another blow to the SEC after the July ruling that declared XRP not a security.

ETF analyst comments on what next?

According to ETF analyst James Seyffart, the DC Circuit court’s decision does not translate to GBTC automatically converting into a spot Bitcoin ETF. However, he opines that the ruling does bring “things one step closer.”

The ruling means the SEC will now have to issue a new order, with a timeline then coming into view. Sayffart says it’s not yet clear what the deadlines would be.
