The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has agreed to review the recently revised application for a spot Bitcoin ETF by Blackrock, the world’s leading institutional asset manager.
Following Blackrock’s application, several other companies filed similar applications with the SEC. However, due to certain deficiencies, the SEC did not consider these applications and requested revisions.
Blackrock, along with other companies, reassessed their applications, addressed the gaps, and reapplied.
The SEC has accepted the newly submitted application for review, indicating its consent to examine Blackrock’s Bitcoin ETF application. The SEC has also approved the review of applications from VanEck, Invesco, Fidelity, and Galaxy Digital.
It’s important to note that this is not an endorsement of an ETF. The SEC has merely announced its approval to review the application, a development that was already anticipated.
