— Gary Gensler (@GaryGensler) January 9, 2024ETFs are a familiar asset class among financial advisors. The prevailing thought is that advisors and investors, previously deterred by the complexities associated with bitcoin custody, might be more inclined to invest in crypto if it’s offered within the more familiar structure of an ETF.
Historically, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has not approved any spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs) for U.S. exchanges. It was only in 2021 that the SEC began to permit ETFs with exposure to cryptocurrency futures.
In October, a court ruling mandated the SEC to reevaluate a spot Bitcoin ETF application from Grayscale Investments. However, this directive does not preclude the SEC from rejecting the investment vehicle on different grounds.
