On October 25, Bitwise submitted its amendment regarding the Bitcoin ETF. The filing of this amendment is believed to be in response to comments and concerns from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In response, crypto market analyst James Seyffart commented that this was completely expected because Bitwise was simply responding to the SEC’s comments and concerns. He went on to note that he did not see anything substantive or that we had seen in other applicants' amendments.
What’s more noteworthy is that if Bitwise’s product is approved by the SEC, it will trade under the ticker $BITB on the exchange. When asked if this was material, Seyffart responded: "No, but it shows an ongoing dialogue between the SEC and these applicants."
