Bitcoin news highlights January 11 as the 17th anniversary of Hal Finney's "Running bitcoin" tweet from 2009. Finney received 10 BTC from Satoshi Nakamoto a day later. On the same date in 2024, the U.S. SEC approved the first Bitcoin ETF, exactly 15 years after Finney's message.

BlockBeats news: On January 11, 2009, Hal Finney posted on the Twitter platform, "Running bitcoin." Behind this brief message was Hal Finney, who became the recipient of the first Bitcoin transaction in history: just one day later, Satoshi Nakamoto sent him 10 BTC directly.


Although there is intense debate about Satoshi Nakamoto's identity, one fact is undisputed: without Hal Finney, Bitcoin might have remained an obscure white paper rather than becoming the financial revolution we know today.


In addition, the date when the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the first spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) for Bitcoin coincided with the date of Finney's historic tweet 15 years ago, which is January 11, 2024.
