JUST IN: $9 trillion asset manager BlackRock to file for #Bitcoin\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> ETF, CoinDesk reports.<\/p>— Watcher.Guru (@WatcherGuru) June 15, 2023<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/blockquote>

The ETF is expected to receive the necessary infrastructure and security from this partnership. BlackRock also plans to leverage Coinbase Custody's technology to ensure the integrity of the digital assets held within the ETF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SEC\u2019s stance on ETFs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The SEC has consistently rejected spot Bitcoin ETF proposals due to fraud and market manipulation concerns. The regulatory body has been cautious about Bitcoin ETFs since July 2016, when it rejected a proposal by the Winklevoss brothers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SEC expressed concerns about potential price manipulation in the nascent cryptocurrency market and inadequate investor protections. Since then, several other companies, including ARK Investment and 21Shares, have submitted or resubmitted applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SEC remains hesitant to approve spot Bitcoin ETFs, emphasizing the need for robust safeguards against fraud and manipulation. Ongoing litigation involving Binance and Coinbase<\/a>, along with classifying cryptocurrencies as securities, has further amplified these concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
