I can’t anticipate results, but we know there is much interest.”he declared yesterday during an interview.

As more issuing adapt to regulatory demands, we seem more likely to see approval not only for Doge and APT, but also for other cryptocurrencies. This could significantly change the investment panorama in cryptoactive for the institutional and retail public in the country.
