WisdomTree modifica su aplicación Spot Bitcoin ETF

• WisdomTree named Coinbase Custody Trust as the custodian of the trust’s bitcoin.
• Varios analistas esperan que la SEC provoque más retrasos antes de dar finalmente su aprobación.

---

WisdomTree, an exchange-traded fund (ETF) provider, has submitted an amended Form S-1 spot Bitcoin ETF prospectus to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As per the filing, the WisdomTree Bitcoin Trust would trade on the CBOE BZX Exchange under the symbol BTCW. In addition, the filing named Coinbase Custody Trust as the custodian of the trust’s bitcoin.

WisdomTree, que supervisa alrededor de $97 mil millones, presentó WisdomTree Prime, una aplicación móvil que facilita el comercio de activos digitales como ether y bitcoin, a principios de este año. Además, la aplicación admite el comercio tokenizado de artículos físicos como oro en el intercambio descentralizado Stellar.

Además, WisdomTree tiene conversaciones en curso con la SEC, pero el presentación reflects the asset manager’s plans to launch a Bitcoin ETF in the US. WisdomTree is one of a total of twelve that are vying for clearance to launch a Bitcoin ETF.

Commenting on the situation, Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart wrote on X that “all issuers were expected to have to file one of these to potentially launch their ETF at some point. Just a step in the process. Nothing critical.”

This just means wisdomtree is still planning to launch an ETF and are in talks with the SEC’s corp fin division. All issuers were expected to have to file one of these in order to potentially launch their ETF at some point. Just a step in the process. Nothing critical.

Seyffart also claimed that out of 12 U.S. corporations that file S-1 forms with the SEC, only two spot Bitcoin ETF filers—Franklin Templeton and Global X—have not yet amended their files.

La SEC pospuso la toma de una decisión sobre los fondos cotizados en bolsa (ETF) de bitcoin propuestos por WisdomTree, VanEck y Fidelity Investments hace unos meses. WisdomTree y otros diez solicitantes modificó los documentos después de que el regulador solicitó nueva información de todos los solicitantes.

Several ETF specialists predict that the SEC will soon cause more delays in providing conclusions about the impending deadlines. However, Bloomberg’s Seyffart believes that there is a 90% chance that the SEC will approve a spot Bitcoin ETF before the end of January 2024, notwithstanding the delays.

Curiosamente, el director ejecutivo de BitGo, Mike Belshe, tuvo buenas y malas noticias para los entusiastas de Bitcoin que esperaban que la SEC aprobara un ETF de Bitcoin al contado. Belshe afirma que las señales de las conversaciones en curso con la SEC muestran un progreso notable.

However, Belshe added, “I think it’s quite likely we have another round of ETF rejections before we get the positive news.” Belshe highlighted the SEC’s position on the division of custody and exchange responsibilities, which has been a source of disagreement in a number of Coinbase custody-related applications.

Other crypto experts, such as Steven Schoenfield, a former managing director of BlackRock, believe that a Bitcoin ETF would likely be approved in three to six months. He noted that the SEC’s recent requests for public comments were a positive indication of engagement rather than plain denials.
