Portfolio Pulse from Murtuza Merchant
Bitcoin has surpassed $45,000, prompting asset management firms to update their submissions to the SEC for spot Bitcoin ETFs. Firms like BlackRock Inc (BLK), VanEck, Valkyrie, Bitwise, Invesco, Fidelity, WisdomTree, Ark Investments, and 21Shares are preparing for a potential Jan. 10 launch date. The SEC's approval is seen as a catalyst for Bitcoin's price increase. Valkyrie and Ark/21Shares propose a 0.80% fee, while Fidelity plans for a lower 0.39% fee. Invesco has announced a fee waiver for six months on the first $5 billion in assets. Grayscale and Hashdex also aim to convert existing products into spot Bitcoin ETFs.
