WisdomTree altera seu aplicativo Spot Bitcoin ETF
- WisdomTree named Coinbase Custody Trust as the custodian of the trust’s bitcoin.
- Vários analistas esperam que a SEC cause mais atrasos antes de finalmente dar a sua aprovação.
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.
A WisdomTree, que supervisiona cerca de $97 bilhões, lançou o WisdomTree Prime, um aplicativo móvel que facilita a negociação de ativos digitais como éter e bitcoin, no início deste ano. Além disso, o aplicativo oferece suporte à negociação tokenizada de itens físicos como ouro na bolsa descentralizada Stellar.
Além disso, o WisdomTree mantém conversas contínuas com a SEC, mas o arquivamento 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.
A SEC adiou a tomada de decisão sobre os fundos negociados em bolsa (ETFs) de bitcoin propostos pela WisdomTree, VanEck e Fidelity Investments há alguns meses. WisdomTree e dez outros candidatos alterou os documentos depois que o regulador solicitou novas informações de todos os requerentes.
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, o CEO da BitGo, Mike Belshe, trouxe boas e más notícias para os entusiastas do Bitcoin que esperam que a SEC aprove um ETF Bitcoin à vista. Belshe afirma que os sinais das conversas em andamento com a SEC mostram um progresso notável.
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.
