Another day, another rejection of a Bitcoin ETF by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).<\/p>\n
This time it is WisdomTree Bitcoin Trust, whose second attempt at the ETF was ruled out on the grounds of insufficient investor protection.<\/p>\n
WisdomTree\u2019s first proposal for a spot Bitcoin ETF was thrown out in 2021. This is not the only company to have such difficulties in getting approval from the SEC, as Grayscale Investments have also been denied on their application to convert the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) into a spot ETF.<\/p>\n
The SEC has been very clear that it is unlikely a spot ETF would be approved, so these rejections do not come as a surprise.<\/p>\n
What is an ETF?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n ETF stands for Exchange-Traded Fund. These ETFs will track the prices of a single or a basket of multiple assets and are tradeable on stock markets.<\/em><\/p>\n Any approval to launch an ETF for crypto assets would be incredibly bullish for the cryptocurrency markets, as it would signal a general acceptance of cryptocurrency from traditional finance and the SEC, which still looks a long way off, bearing in mind the SEC\u2019s continual refusal.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n With investors likely becoming frustrated at the continual rejections from the SEC, money may flow into other promising assets.<\/p>\n
