$1.5 Trillion Asset Manager Franklin Templeton Files for US Bitcoin ETF

2023-9-13 18:01

In a move that further legitimizes Bitcoin in institutional finance, the global investment giant Franklin Templeton filed a regulatory Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Monday, seeking approval for a spot Bitcoin ETF.

The filing outlines plans for the Franklin Templeton Digital Asset Trust, which aims to track the performance of Bitcoin.

Several other investment firms have submitted similar applications in recent years, but none have yet received SEC approval.
