FX168财经报社(香港)讯 比特币周二(7月18日)死守30000美元不破，美国证监会传来重大利好，继申请在芝加哥期权交易所(CBOE)上架的5种比特币现货ETF进入审查后，贝莱德(BlackRock)和Valkyrie的申请文件也获得确认。美国总统拜登领导的众议院民主党人，将在周三与Coinbase首席执行官布莱恩·阿姆斯特朗(Brian Armstrong)召开闭门会议，重点讨论数字资产立法，旨在制定更明确的规则。
彭博社引述民主党助手透露，阿姆斯特朗将与新民主党联盟的立法者私下讨论数字资产立法，以及税收、国家安全、隐私和气候等相关问题。此次会议召开之际，Coinbase正面临美国证监会的诉讼。

他在华盛顿领导一场围绕数字资产制定更清晰规则的运动，总部位于美国的Coinbase已敦促立法者采纳两项正在流通的法案，并将就加密货币交易所如何向监管机构注册提供更明确的指导。
新民主党联盟由100名中左翼成员组成，寻求在一系列问题上跨党派合作，以“推进创新、包容和前瞻性的政策”。美国证监会指控Coinbase违反要求其注册为证券交易所的规定，但后者否认了这些说法，并寻求驳回诉讼。
这是美国证监会主席根斯勒(Gary Gensler)对该行业更广泛打击的一部分，近几个月来，他采取了一系列执法行动。
阿姆斯特朗指出，美国证监会和美国商品期货交易委员会(CFTC)对于哪个机构拥有该行业部分权力的声明相互矛盾。“这就是美国国会推出新立法来解决这一问题的原因，”他说。
上周四，纽约法官简易判决认定“瑞波币(XRP)非证券”，让美国证监会在与瑞波公司(Ripple)的长期法律战中，吃下难忘的一记败仗，也同时刺激Coinbase股价上涨24%。
美国证监会周一正式接受贝莱德比特币现货ETF申请审查。风险投资家德雷珀(Tim Draper)坚持此前观点，随着华尔街机构数万亿美元的入局，展望比特币将上看25万美元。

另外，美国证监会也已正式启动对在CBOE交易所申请上架的5种比特币现货ETF审查环节，分别为是Wise Origin、WisdomTree、VanEck、Invesco Galaxy和ARK 21Shares。
与Bitwise不同的是，这5家金融巨头都已与加密货币交易所Coinbase签署合作监督协议，该协议被认为可以减缓美国证监会对市场操控行为的担忧。
据彭博交易所交易基金高级分析师Eric Balchunas在社交媒体披露，Valkyrie提交的现货比特币ETF，周二已获得美国证券交易委员会确认，Valkyrie也成为了美国证监会本批次备案最后确认的一个现货比特币ETF申请方。此外根据披露的申请资料信息显示，Valkyrie比特币ETF选择的纳斯达克交易代码为“BRRR”。

贝莱德、Valkyrie再加上5家申请上架CBOE的比特币现货ETF，美国证监会已基本确认7家华尔街金融机构的申请。
此前，Bitwise投资长Matt Hougan曾表示，争取获得美国证监会批准比特币现货ETF的竞争者名单正在不断增加，但其中仅少数产品最终会获得成功，原因是ETF通常是胜者全拿的市场；假设真的如此，那谁先获得通过就能获得更多市场优势。
据彭博ETF分析师James Seyffart上周分享的数据，目前美国证监会对各家申请做出回应的期限中，以女股神伍德(Cathie Wood)旗下投资管理公司ARK Investment与发行商21Shares合作的ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF占有先机，未来是否能拔得头筹，值得市场持续关注。
