Bitcoin is up 3% on a day the Sterling and other currencies scramble to avoid the gravitational pull of the blackhole of their central bank policies and deals made with the devil (extra EU). The Dollar is the least worst place to be in fiat so it rises in comparison. How much longer will that last?

Any update from your sources on SEC approval?
SEC put approval on ice for another 45 days. https://www.sec.gov/rules/sro/batsbzx/2016/34-79084.pdf
There is some banter that there is a troll from bitcointalk forums who put forward objections about how the price of bitcoin is fixed for markets that the SEC is going over. That’s rumor and speculation.
I am sure the vampire squids are evaluating how to get a piece of the action before letting their SEC underlings rubber stamp anything.
