SEC Delays Bitcoin ETF Proposals From Blackrock, Valkyrie
Portfolio Pulse from Benzinga Neuro
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed decisions on several Bitcoin ETF proposals, including those from BlackRock and Valkyrie. This follows previous delays for Ark 21Shares and GlobalX until January 2023. Despite these delays, the SEC is pushing forward with Ethereum futures ETFs. Valkyrie Investments recently became the first of nine ETF issuers to secure SEC approval for an ETF that allows investors to speculate on the future price of Ethereum.
