  • Wechat scan to share

The SEC has postponed its decision on whether to approve or reject proposals for two bitcoin ETFs, the Franklin Bitcoin ETF and the Hashdex Bitcoin Futures ETF. Bloomberg ETF Analyst James Seyffart has suggested that the SEC may be preparing to approve a batch of bitcoin ETFs in early January by delaying decisions until now. The SEC has requested public comments on issues such as the potential for manipulation of the funds and underlying bitcoin markets. The final decision on whether to approve or reject the proposed rule change will be made by January 1, 2024, and interested parties have 21 days to submit initial comments to the SEC.
