US Fund Managers update in their Bitcoin spot ETF applications

On Dec 5, 2023

The top Bitcoin spot ETF applicants updated their application with the US Securities regulatory body.

Bitcoin spot ETF is a financial product which allows big investors to invest in Bitcoin on behalf of the ETF issuer under a fully centralized & regulated environment. At present, nearly a dozen Bitcoin spot ETF applications are in the queue to get regulatory approval from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

On 5 Dec 2023, Bloomberg cryptocurrency analyst James Seyffart reported that the US SEC agency continuously gave orders to the applicants to bring changes in their applications in the recent weeks.

In the latest, giant fund manager BlackRock updated its Bitcoin spot ETF application.

UPDATE: They're just pouring in. We have another spot #Bitcoin ETF S-1 (prospectus) amendment tonight. This one is from @BlackRock. SEC is obviously giving multiple issuers the same or very similar instructions. pic.twitter.com/nk1yImZpXk

Eric confirmed that there are possibilities that all such applications will get the final approval between 8 to 10 Jan of the next year.

LATEST: Look for updated S-1 filings this week (which answer round two comments from SEC which I heard were exhaustive and poss final). But.. we won’t see updated 19b-4s bc SEC asked issuers to send back offline for now. Those prob be re-filed just bf approval date (see below) https://t.co/ZhtN86f0Q3
