Pando Asset, uma empresa líder em gestão de ativos com sede na Suíça, tornou-se a mais recente empresa a registrar um pedido de fundo negociado em bolsa (ETF) de Bitcoin (BTC) à vista na Comissão de Valores Mobiliários dos Estados Unidos (SEC). Há agora um total de 13 pedidos de ETF que o regulador dos EUA deve considerar atualmente.

É crucial notar que no mesmo dia em que a Pando Asset submetido 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. 

Anteriormente, havia 12 aplicações de ETF Bitcoin que a SEC teve que considerar de várias empresas de gestão de ativos, incluindo BlackRock, ARK Invest e Grayscale. 

Curiosamente, em um publicar 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.

É importante mencionar aqui que Balchunas previsto that ETF applications have a “clear runway” for approval after the SEC delayed decisions on the bids of Franklin Templeton e ETFs Hashdex. O consenso da indústria é que a aprovação provavelmente acontecerá na primeira quinzena de janeiro. 

Por outro lado, conforme legislação documentos, 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.
