BlackRock submits revised Bitcoin ETF application documents, adds anti-money laundering compliance language and PwC audit report

Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart wrote on X platform that BlackRock has submitted the second revised S-1 document (prospectus) for its Bitcoin spot ETF (iShares Bitcoin Trust) to the US SEC. Bitwise had also submitted a second revised S-1 document earlier.

James Seyffart stated that the SEC had apparently issued similar or very similar instructions to multiple issuers. The SEC and these issuers are working to resolve the issues. These documents are likely the result of multiple conversations and a lot of work between the two parties.

It is reported that BlackRock has added content in the latest submission regarding measures the trustee will take to monitor abnormal price changes, as well as adding language related to anti-money laundering compliance and including an audit report from PwC. (The Block)

Earlier news, Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart wrote on X platform that Bitwise had submitted a second revised S-1 document (prospectus) for a Bitcoin spot ETF application to the US SEC, indicating that the dialogue between the SEC and potential issuers is still ongoing.

  • U.S. consumer confidence improves again in November, reaching a two-year high

    Dana M. Peterson, Chief Economist of the World Large Enterprises Federation, said, "US consumer confidence continued to improve in November, reaching the highest level in the past two years. The growth in November was mainly due to consumers' more positive assessment of the current situation, especially in the labor market. Compared with October, consumers' optimism about future employment opportunities has also greatly increased, reaching the highest level in nearly three years. At the same time, consumers' expectations for future business conditions have not changed, while their optimism about future income has slightly declined." Earlier, the US Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index for November recorded 111.7, a new high since July 2023.

  • QCP: BTC's path to $100,000 has stalled, and ETH implied volatility has turned to put options

    QCP Capital has published an analysis indicating that the recent drop in the price of Bitcoin has resulted in long liquidations exceeding $430 million. This drop coincides with the end of five consecutive days of net inflows for spot ETFs, which recorded a outflow of $438 million on Monday, while MicroStrategy fell by 4.4%. With the US holiday approaching and no immediate catalyst to push prices higher, BTC's path towards $100,000 has stalled. In addition, the implied volatility of ETH has turned to bearish options rather than bullish options, and market concerns about downside risks may intensify, especially with the release of the FOMC meeting minutes and PCE data. However, in the long run, this market decline is not an excessive correction. Bitcoin has only retreated to last week's level. Since Trump's election, the market has become extremely overbought and leveraged, so a pause is inevitable.
