U.S. spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) hold $27 billion in BTC. The majority of assets under management (AUM) is held by the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), valued at $25.3 billion.
The company revealed that shareholders have until January 30 to sell their shares in the VanEck Bitcoin Strategy ETF (XBTF).
This article focuses on the approval of the Bitcoin spot ETF, a landmark event in the history of crypto assets, and analyzes the future regulatory trends of the crypto asset market.
Ten years after it was first proposed, a spot Bitcoin ETF has finally launched in the United States. What happens next.
The Bitcoin Spot ETF was approved today and will be available for trading tomorrow. So, why are Bitcoin ETFs so important?
Valid S-1 approval is pending, meaning the spot Bitcoin ETF could begin trading as early as January 11, U.S. time.
If the ETF is approved, only time will tell whether $1 billion to $2.4 billion will flow into the ETF as expected.
Applications for Bitcoin spot ETFs in the US market have entered a peak period, and the Bitcoin halving is expected to be around the end of April 2024. Therefore, whether the spot EFT is approved this time has become the focus of the industry.
According to Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, there are "good signs" that the US SEC will approve Ark Investments and Valkyrie's bitcoin futures ETF applications.
