SEC Won't Appeal Loss in Grayscale Case, Boosting the Odds GBTC Can Become a Bitcoin ETF
October 16, 2023--Bitcoin's price immediately shot up after the news came out.
The SEC was rebuked by a court in August for how it rejected Grayscale's application to turn its bitcoin (BTC) trust into an ETF.
The regulator won’t appeal that loss, a person familiar with the matter said Friday, boosting the odds the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) can be turned into a more-appealing ETF.
BTC's price jumped on the news.
The Securities and Exchange Commission won't appeal a court's scathing reversal of its decision not to let Grayscale convert its bitcoin trust into a more investor-friendly exchange-traded fund, according to a person familiar with the matter, possibly clearing the way for the first bitcoin ETF in the U.S.

World Bank-Economic Review-Latin America and the Caribbean-October 2023 Digital Connectivity for Inclusion and Growth
October 14, 2023--Latin America and the Caribbean achieved significant progress in macroeconomic resilience over the past three decades, providing greater resilience against shocks such as rising inflationary pressures, global uncertainty, increased debt, and low commodity prices, along with the convergence of poverty and employment levels to pre-pandemic levels.
The report estimates that the regional Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will grow by 2percent in 2023, slightly above the previously projected 1.4 percent, but still below that of all other regions in the world. Growth rates of 2.3 percent and 2.6 percent are expected for 2024 and 2025, respectively. These rates, similar to those of the 2010s, are not sufficient to achieve the much-needed advances in inclusion and poverty reduction.

Western Hemisphere Regional Economic Outlook: Securing Low Inflation and Nurturing Potential Growth
October 13, 2023--Following a strong rebound from the pandemic and continued resilience in early 2023, economic growth in Latin America and the Caribbean is projected to moderate from 4.1 percent in 2022 to 2.3 percent in 2023. Headline inflation in the region (excluding Argentina and Venezuela) has been declining and is anticipated to reach 5 percent in 2023, compared to 7.8 percent in 2022.
Thanks to improved macroeconomic management, the region can focus on how to boost growth by addressing long-lasting challenges, including lackluster productivity, low investment, and labor market rigidities.
The changing global environment also presents new challenges and opportunities, like climate change and the irruption of new digital technologies. Preserving social cohesion should be a centerpiece of any policy plans, including through strengthening social protection mechanisms and tackling insecurity.
