Hashdex Bitcoin ETF Filing Now Acknowledged By The SEC
Key Points:
- Hashdex Bitcoin ETF filing surprises by appearing early, possibly due to government shutdown concerns.
- The asset management company enters the US Bitcoin ETF competition with a futures ETF application.
- SEC now extends response timelines for Ark 21 Shares and Global X’s spot Bitcoin ETF applications.
In an unexpected turn of events, the Hashdex Bitcoin ETF filing has emerged on the SEC website, ahead of the anticipated date of October 6, 2023, according to Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart.
Bitcoin ETF Filing Surfaces Amidst Regulatory Uncertainty
Hashdex, a prominent crypto asset management company, threw its hat into the ring for a coveted spot in the United States’ Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) market last month. The firm submitted an application to the SEC for a Bitcoin futures ETF that will directly hold spot Bitcoin, adding to the growing competition in this space.
For those unfamiliar with ETFs, they are investment funds that trade on traditional stock markets, deriving their value from an underlying basket of assets, which can include stocks, bonds, commodities, and other financial instruments. Bitcoin ETFs, on the other hand, allow investors to track the value of Bitcoin through traditional stock exchanges rather than crypto exchanges.
SEC Acknowledges Bitcoin ETF Filings as Government Shutdown Looms
Furthermore, Seyffart noted that the SEC has acknowledged the Bitcoin ETF filings from CBOE and Franklin Templeton. Traditionally, it takes about a week for the SEC to acknowledge a 19b-4 filing. However, Franklin Templeton submitted its 19b-4 document only yesterday. Seyffart’s announcement hints at the urgency prompted by concerns surrounding a looming government shutdown.
It’s worth noting that the SEC has recently postponed responses to applications for spot Bitcoin ETF listings by Ark 21 Shares and Global X. This extension means that both companies must now patiently await the SEC’s decision on their applications as the regulatory agency navigates the complex landscape of crypto ETFs.
