Key Points:
According to Bloomberg, potential Bitcoin ETF issuers must finalize any last-minute revisions to their applications by Monday morning in Washington. These are the spot Bitcoin ETF deadlines that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requested at the last minute. The SEC is then slated to make decisions on at least one of these applications by January 10, with industry insiders speculating that multiple announcements could be made on that date.
Before a spot-backed Bitcoin ETF can commence trading, two technical requirements must be met. Firstly, the SEC must approve the 19b-4 filings from exchanges seeking to list the ETFs. Secondly, the regulator needs to greenlight the relevant S-1 forms submitted by potential issuers, including major players like BlackRock and Fidelity.
Reports from Bloomberg suggest that the SEC is scheduled to vote on the exchanges’ 19b-4 filings in the coming days. Following this, the regulator may take action on the issuers’ S-1 applications. If both sets of approvals are granted, the ETFs could begin trading as early as the subsequent business day.
SEC Chair Gary Gensler, known for legal clashes with prominent crypto entities, faces a critical decision. Notably, BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, anticipates approval for its spot Bitcoin ETF application next Wednesday, as reported by Fox Business. This development underscores the growing intersection of traditional finance and the evolving crypto landscape, poised for a significant milestone if regulatory green lights are granted this week.
