A Bloomberg analyst says that the U.S. Securities and Trade Fee (SEC) is gearing as much as approve all bids for a spot market Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF).
In a prolonged thread on the social media platform X, James Seyffart says that the SEC making earlier-than-expected rulings on Franklin’s bids for a BTC ETF means the regulatory company could possibly be setting the stage to approve the others in January.
“Wow. SEC went tremendous early on Franklin. They weren’t due for one more choice till Jan 1. Notably, Franklin is the one issuer who didn’t submit an up to date [Form] S-1 (registration of asset-backed safety) but. Marvel if that has any impression right here…
Going tremendous early on Franklin at the moment (and probably Hashdex coming too?) would set issues up for a full wave of approvals in early January.”
Nevertheless, the SEC didn’t find yourself ruling early on Hashdex’s bid. As a substitute, the regulatory physique pushed it again to a selected date, prompting Seyffart to believe that the SEC is aiming to approve all BTC ETF functions on the similar time.
“This delay on Hashdex all however confirms for me that this was probably a transfer to line each applicant up for potential approval by the Jan 10, 2024 deadline.”
Nevertheless, Seyffart says the method could not go easily as there could possibly be some hang-ups with the submitting course of or the SEC could find yourself denying the bids.
“Gonna sprinkle some caveats right here:
1. That is simply the 19b-4 (new spinoff safety product submitting) approvals. We all know from updates and different sources that [the] SEC nonetheless isn’t fairly able to approve the S-1s (prospectuses) simply but. So approval may occur right here with out instant launch.
2. They might nonetheless be denied.”
