  The SEC’s X account got hacked. Everyone is waiting for the SEC’s decision, expected today, about whether it will allow spot bitcoin ETFs that would make buying the cryptocurrency easier and more accessible. But it seems someone wasn’t willing to wait it out: After the SEC’s account posted to X yesterday that the ETFs had been approved, Chair Gary Gensler said on his own account that there had been no approval and the agency’s account was “compromised.” The false post briefly caused a spike in bitcoin prices.

  A real taste of winter is hitting most of the state this week, sending oil and gas crews to wear extra clothing to fight the extreme wind chills. Oklahoma Climatologist Gary McManus says we’ll see wind chills down “into the single digits and teens” Tuesday morning.
