In a recent development, another proposed Spot Bitcoin ETF <\/span>has been listed<\/span><\/a> on the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation\u2019s (DTCC) website, becoming the second proposed <\/span>Spot Bitcoin ETF<\/span><\/a> to appear on the corporation\u2019s website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Invesco <\/span>Galaxy<\/span><\/a> Bitcoin ETF under the ticker \u2018BTCO\u2019 recently appeared on the <\/span>DTCC website<\/span><\/a>, joining <\/span>BlackRock\u2019s spot Bitcoin ETF<\/span><\/a>, which goes under the ticker \u2018IBTC\u2019 as uncertainty around a possible approval of these funds continues to heighten.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Many had speculated an approval was imminent when <\/span>BlackRock\u2019s IBTC<\/span><\/a> was earlier listed. However, the optimism has sort of cooled off following <\/span>a recent revelation<\/span><\/a> by a spokesperson for the financial services company. The representative clarified that the listing of these ETFs was simply \u201cStandard Practice\u201d and that it doesn\u2019t indicate any potential approval by the SEC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n An ETF expert had also <\/span>weighed in and stated<\/span><\/a> that DTCC\u2019s listing didn\u2019t mean anything in the grand scheme of things regarding a possible approval of Bitcoin ETFs by the United States <\/span>Securities and Exchange Commission<\/span><\/a> (SEC). Going by this, the DTCC listing only suggests that these asset managers are preparing just in case they get <\/span>approved by the SEC<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Such preparations also include asset managers <\/span>BlackRock<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>VanEck<\/span><\/a> recently revealing their plans to begin seeding for their respective funds.

Valkyrie joins the likes of <\/span>ARK Invest<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>BlackRock<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Fidelity<\/span><\/a>, and Bitwise, who have also filed amendments to their prospectus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Seyffart happens to be one of those who believe that these amendments could mean something.

But that could change soon as ETF enthusiast and prominent financial lawyer Scott Johnsson <\/span>said<\/span><\/a> that the Commission is set to have a closed meeting on November 2; its first since the Grayscale deadline expired, and one of the agenda for the meeting includes resolving litigation claims.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In a recent development, another proposed Spot Bitcoin ETF has been listed on the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation\u2019s (DTCC) website, becoming the second proposed Spot Bitcoin ETF to appear on the corporation\u2019s website.\u00a0 BTCO Joins IBTC On DTCC Website The Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF under the ticker \u2018BTCO\u2019 recently appeared on the DTCC website, joining BlackRock\u2019s spot Bitcoin ETF, which goes under the ticker \u2018IBTC\u2019 as uncertainty around a possible approval of these funds continues to heighten.\u00a0 Related Reading: Top 5 Bitcoin-Like Altcoins That Could Make You A Millionaire In The Crypto Bull Run Source: DTCC website Many had speculated an approval was imminent when BlackRock\u2019s IBTC was earlier listed.
