WisdomTree modifica la sua richiesta per l'ETF Spot Bitcoin
- WisdomTree named Coinbase Custody Trust as the custodian of the trust’s bitcoin.
- Diversi analisti si aspettano che la SEC provochi ulteriori ritardi prima di dare finalmente la sua approvazione.
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, che supervisiona circa $97 miliardi, ha introdotto WisdomTree Prime, un'applicazione mobile che facilita lo scambio di asset digitali come ether e bitcoin, all'inizio di quest'anno. Inoltre, l'app supporta lo scambio tokenizzato di oggetti fisici come l'oro sull'exchange decentralizzato Stellar.
Inoltre, WisdomTree ha conversazioni in corso con la SEC, ma il deposito 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.”
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 ha rinviato la decisione sulla proposta di fondi negoziati in borsa (ETF) bitcoin da WisdomTree, VanEck e Fidelity Investments alcuni mesi fa. WisdomTree e altri dieci richiedenti ha modificato i documenti dopo che l'autorità di regolamentazione ha richiesto nuove informazioni a tutti i richiedenti.
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.
È interessante notare che il CEO di BitGo Mike Belshe ha dato una buona e una cattiva notizia agli appassionati di Bitcoin in attesa che la SEC approvi un ETF Bitcoin spot. Belshe sostiene che i segnali provenienti dalle conversazioni in corso con la SEC mostrano notevoli progressi.
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.
