NewsletterBitcoin ETF Approval Likely by Wednesday, Ex-SEC Chair
Former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Jay Clayton has confidently predicted approving a Spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF). In a recent CNBC interview, Clayton emphasized that key obstacles previously impeding the ETF’s approval appear to have been resolved. “The underlying Bitcoin trading market has matured significantly,” Clayton remarked, suggesting a robust and reliable framework now exists for the ETF’s operation.
Technical Readiness and Regulatory Compliance
The anticipation for a Spot Bitcoin ETF has been mounting, particularly given the advancements in technology and compliance. The former SEC Chair noted significant progress in the necessary technological infrastructure, including custody and transaction mechanisms. This development is pivotal for Bitcoin and marks a significant evolution in the financial industry.
Bitcoin ETF’s Countdown
The SEC is poised to make a landmark decision by Wednesday, with the potential for the Spot Bitcoin ETFs to begin trading shortly thereafter. Moreover, applications from major financial players like BlackRock and Fidelity are on the table. The SEC’s approval process involves the review of 19b-4 filings by exchanges and S-1 forms from issuers. This two-pronged regulatory pathway ensures thorough scrutiny of both the platforms that will list the ETFs and the entities issuing them.
Concurrently, the Bitcoin community and investors are closely eyeing this development, as introducing a Spot Bitcoin ETF could inject significant capital into the market. Michael Anderson, co-founder of crypto venture firm Framework Ventures, believes the market impact of such an approval is currently underestimated. Despite Bitcoin’s fluctuating value, remaining around $46,000 recently, approving a Spot Bitcoin ETF could substantially boost.
