As the approval of Bitcoin Spot ETFs appears to be approaching, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has cautioned individuals against investing in cryptocurrency driven by fear of missing out (FOMO).
The SEC’s educational division utilized social media to issue a warning regarding FOMO investments.
The SEC Investor Education emphasized that an asset may not be a sound purchase simply “because others might buy” it.
This is particularly relevant for digital assets, including meme cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

The “no go to FOMO” educational message was initially shared at the start of 2021 during the market upswing.
This sentiment was reiterated in March 2022, over a year later, as the industry entered a more subdued phase and individuals were considering selling their tokens.

“[Just] because others around you might be buying into these kinds of opportunities, it doesn’t mean you have to. Not every investment opportunity is right for everyone. Resist temptation and remember our phrase, “NO GO to FOMO.””
With the resurgence of this warning during a period of minimal market movement, many speculate that the SEC may be preparing to approve a spot Bitcoin ETF soon.
If the SEC grants approval for a spot Bitcoin ETF, numerous analysts and experts anticipate that the market will experience a surge in interest and adoption of digital assets.
Amid this potential increase, there are lesser-known crypto assets that may appear appealing due to favorable prices and opportunities, but could present risks to investors.
The SEC’s guidance encourages investors to adopt healthier investment practices, such as focusing on market trends rather than the opinions of influencers and celebrities.
The SEC also highlights diversification as a prudent strategy for safer investing:
“The best way to protect yourself during market swings is to create an investment portfolio that has a mix of assets, such as stocks, bonds, and cash. Including different kinds of assets in your portfolio reduces risk and the impact of volatility on your overall portfolio.”
