The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has acknowledged the Bitwise spot Bitcoin ETF application, which is a positive development for the cryptocurrency industry. This moves the possibility of a regulated Bitcoin ETF closer to reality. The SEC will now begin a formal review process, including a thorough examination of the proposal and a chance for public comment. If approved, the Bitwise spot Bitcoin ETF will provide individual investors with a more accessible and secure way to invest in Bitcoin. Currently, individuals must navigate crypto exchanges or alternative investment vehicles. Concerns such as market manipulation, custody of assets, investor protection, and market integrity have been raised, but Bitwise is confident in the SEC’s potential approval based on the transparent and regulated platform provided by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange for Bitcoin futures trading.
