25-year-old arrested in SEC hack that spiked Bitcoin price | Fortune

The price of bitcoin briefly spiked more than $1,000 after the post claimed "The SEC grants approval for #Bitcoin ETFs for listing on all registered national securities exchanges." But soon after the initial post appeared, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler said on his personal account that the SEC's account was compromised. "The SEC has not approved the listing and trading of spot bitcoin exchange-traded products," Gensler wrote, calling the post unauthorized without providing further explanation.
