SEC Delays ARK Invest 21Shares Spot Bitcoin ETF Filing, Narrowing Chances of Approval in 2023

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced a delay in the ARK Invest 21Shares spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) filing, which may decrease the likelihood of a spot ETF approval in 2023. The SEC is requesting a longer period for any action on the proposed rule change, which was originally due on November 11, 2023. This decision was made just in time before the SEC Chair Gary Gensler's hearing before the Financial Services Committee on September 27, 2023. Franklin Templeton recently joined the list of financial companies seeking approval for the first-ever spot BTC ETF in the United States, but they have yet to file the 19b-4, a key step in the approval process.
