Pando Asset, une société de gestion d'actifs leader basée en Suisse, est devenue la dernière société à déposer une demande de fonds négocié en bourse (ETF) au comptant Bitcoin (BTC) auprès de la Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) des États-Unis. Il y a désormais un total de 13 demandes d'ETF que le régulateur américain doit actuellement examiner.

Il est crucial de noter que le jour même où Pando Asset soumis a Form S-1 with the SEC, the world’s largest asset management firm, BlackRock, met with the regulator to discuss an updated ETF model that was based on the agency’s feedback. 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. 

Auparavant, la SEC devait prendre en compte 12 applications Bitcoin ETF provenant de diverses sociétés de gestion d'actifs, notamment BlackRock, ARK Invest et Grayscale. 

Fait intéressant, dans un Publier 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?”

Balchunas also questioned if the new applicant will be among the “crew” of Bitcoin ETF filings he predicts will be approved on Jan. 10. “What does that say about fair play and even society as we know it?” he added.

Il est important de mentionner ici que Balchunas prédit that ETF applications have a “clear runway” for approval after the SEC delayed decisions on the bids of Franklin Templeton et les ETF Hashdex. Le consensus de l’industrie est que l’approbation interviendra probablement dans la première quinzaine de janvier. 

D'autre part, conformément aux dispositions légales documents, BlackRock met with the SEC’s Trading and Markets division again on November 29, pitching a revision to its redemption model to address the SEC’s concerns from an earlier meeting on balance sheet impacts and risks to US broker-dealers dealing with offshore crypto entities.
