Pando Asset, una empresa líder en gestión de activos con sede en Suiza, se ha convertido en la última empresa en presentar una solicitud para un fondo cotizado en bolsa (ETF) de Bitcoin (BTC) ante la Comisión de Bolsa y Valores de los Estados Unidos (SEC). Actualmente hay un total de 13 solicitudes de ETF que el regulador estadounidense debe considerar.

Interestingly, the crypto community has become quite optimistic when it comes to the approval of a spot ETF.

The name of the 13th ETF application that the SEC has to consider is Pando Asset Spot Bitcoin Trust, and like the other spot ETFs, this one also seeks to track the price of the world’s largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin. Further, the custody arm of Coinbase, the leading exchange in the United States, will be responsible for keeping the required BTC on behalf of the trust. 

Anteriormente, la SEC tuvo que considerar 12 solicitudes de ETF de Bitcoin de varias empresas de gestión de activos, incluidas BlackRock, ARK Invest y Grayscale. 

Curiosamente, en un correo on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), Eric Balchunas, an ETF analyst for Bloomberg, said he has “more questions than answers” about Pando Asset’s filing, questioning why it came so late.

“More questions than answers: where have they been for last 3mo? why bother at this point? if they make Jan 10 crew what does that say about fair play and even society as we know it? And what exactly is a Pando?”
