Spot Bitcoin ETFs Could Soon See SEC Approval, Suggests Bernstein Analysis
Portfolio Pulse from Murtuza Merchant
Bernstein suggests that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may soon approve spot Bitcoin ETFs, despite its concerns about the reliability of spot exchanges like Coinbase Global Inc. The SEC has already approved futures-based Bitcoin ETFs. Last month, a BlackRock Inc unit submitted paperwork for a spot Bitcoin ETF, and Grayscale is also trying to transform its Bitcoin Trust into an ETF. The report concludes that the SEC would prefer a regulated Bitcoin ETF led by mainstream Wall Street participants.
