Grayscale bittet die SEC, alle Bitcoin-ETF-Anträge gleichzeitig zu genehmigen

• Grayscale hat die SEC gebeten, alle Bitcoin-ETF-Anträge gleichzeitig zu genehmigen. 
• Invesco, BlackRock, Valkyrie, VanEck, Wisdom, Fidelity, and ARK Invest’s applications were amended to include SSAs.
• Grayscale pointed out that the SSAs “would neither satisfy nor be necessary” under the SEC’s standards.
• Approving the ETFs would be “a positive but sudden and significant change” in the SEC’s application of its standard.

Das führende Kryptowährungs-Asset-Management-Unternehmen Grayscale hat die US-amerikanische Börsenaufsicht SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) gebeten, alle Anträge auf die öffentliche Notierung eines börsengehandelten Bitcoin-Fonds (ETF) in den USA gleichzeitig zu genehmigen. Das von Michael Sonnenshein geführte Unternehmen behauptet, dass dadurch verhindert wird, dass ein einzelner ETF die Mehrheit der Anleger hat. 

Gemäß a Post on July 27, Grayscale said that while it awaits the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, one of the thirteen United States Courts of Appeals, for the conversion of its flagship product GBTC to a Bitcoin spot ETF, the firm’s legal team at Davis Polk submitted a comment letter to GBTC’s pending 19b-4 filing, as well as seven other spot bitcoin ETF filings with newly-proposed surveillance sharing agreements (SSAs).

“We remain encouraged by the increased momentum around spot bitcoin ETF filings. Not only does this underscore the continued maturation of the bitcoin spot market, but it also reinforces our long-held belief that American investors should have access to spot bitcoin ETFs in the US,” said the post from Grayscale.

Früheren Berichten zufolge wurden die Bitcoin-ETF-Anträge von Invesco, BlackRock, Valkyrie, VanEck, Wisdom, Fidelity und ARK Invest kürzlich geändert, um Überwachungsvereinbarungen mit der führenden Krypto-Börse des Landes, Coinbase, aufzunehmen. Die einzige öffentliche Handelsplattform ist für die Weitergabe von Informationen in ihren Handelsbüchern und anderen Informationen verantwortlich, auf die die SEC zugreifen möchte. 

Interestingly, Grayscale pointed out that the SSAs “would neither satisfy nor be necessary” under the SEC’s standards because Coinbase is not registered as a securities platform with the SEC nor with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as a futures exchange.

Grayscale further pointed out that approving the Bitcoin spot ETFs would be “a positive but sudden and significant change” in the SEC’s application of its standard and would “improperly grant an unfairly discriminatory and prejudicial first-mover advantage to these proposals.”

Finally, the crypto asset management company claimed that there are “nearly one million investors across all 50 states who own GBTC, and GBTC’s conversion to an ETF would return billions of dollars in value to these investors.” 

Wie Bitnation bereits berichtete, kündigte Grayscale Investments einen neuen Geschäftszweig mit dem Namen an Grayscale Funds Trust, a Delaware statutory trust structure that will be responsible for scaling the firm’s business around the world and managing its line of products in-house.
