SEC and Applicants Discussing Crucial Aspects

According to Reuters, discussions between the SEC and ETF issuers have been ongoing since August, following the SEC’s loss to Grayscale. These discussions often involve critical technical aspects, including regulatory arrangements and creation and redemption mechanisms, typically broached towards the end of the ETF application process. Recent leaks also suggest progress in these negotiations:

  • Eric Balchunas from Bloomberg hinted at rumors that the SEC might first approve only cash-redemption mechanisms. Most issuers are prepared for both physical and cash mechanisms, depending on SEC’s support.
  • Amendments to ETF S-1 filings by BlackRock and Bitwise, enhancing monitoring of anomalous price movements and strengthening anti-money laundering compliance, further highlight the issuers’ focus on financial transparency and compliance.
  • BlackRock, on October 27, raised $100,000 as “seed money” for its proposed Bitcoin Spot ETF, demonstrating readiness for potential approval.

  • U.S. Congressman Mike Flood: Looking forward to working with the next SEC Chairman to revoke the anti-crypto banking policy SAB 121

     US House of Representatives will investigate Representative Mike Flood's recent statement: "Despite widespread opposition, SAB 121 is still operating as a regulation, even though it has never gone through the normal Administrative Procedure Act process." Flood said, "I look forward to working with the next SEC chairman to revoke SAB 121. Whether Chairman Gary Gensler resigns on his own or President Trump fulfills his promise to dismiss Gensler, the new government has an excellent opportunity to usher in a new era after Gensler's departure." He added, "It's not surprising that Gensler opposed the digital asset regulatory framework passed by the House on a bipartisan basis earlier this year. 71 Democrats and House Republicans passed this common-sense framework together. Although the Democratic-led Senate rejected it, it represented a breakthrough moment for cryptocurrency and may provide information for the work of the unified Republican government when the next Congress begins in January next year."
