A fee war broke out among ETF applicants who pushed their fund costs near rock-bottom, while SEC chair Gary Gensler tweeted about how investors should be mindful of risks when buying crypto -- all of which served to further fuel speculation the ETF's approval is imminent. Analysts expect the U.S. securities regulator will issue a decision by tomorrow, Jan. 10.
