US legislators ask SEC to approve a Bitcoin spot ETF

2021-11-5 21:00

Top lawmakers in the United States have urged the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Gary Gensler, to approve a spot Bitcoin ETF despite the recent approval of futures-linked BTC ETFs.

Lawmakers want a spot Bitcoin ETF approved

In the letter, signed by Tom Emmer and Darren Soto, the legislators questioned the commission’s logic in approving a Bitcoin futures ETF while refusing to approve a spot Bitcoin ETF. According to them, a futures ETF is “potentially” more volatile than a spot ETF especially as it may impose more fees on investors.

They continued that “we question why, if you are comfortable allowing trading in an ETF based on derivatives contracts, you are not equally or more comfortable allowing trading to commence in ETFs based on spot Bitcoin. Bitcoin spot ETFs are based directly on the asset, which inherently provides more protection for investors.”

The two pro-crypto lawmakers, however, acknowledged the fact that the approval of a crypto based ETF is a “step forward for millions of Americans who are demanding access to simple ways to invest in Bitcoin”

SEC postpones decision on Valkyrie’s ETF

Earlier in the week, the foremost financial regulator, again, postponed its approval for a spot Bitcoin ETF in Valkyrie’s Bitcoin Fund to between November 8 and January 7, 2022. Unlike its approved sister Valkyrie’s BTF, Valkyrie’s new ETF will issue “fractional undivided beneficial interest” in Trust which holds Bitcoin directly.

Less than a month ago, the SEC, after months of speculation and refusal to approve a Bitcoin-based ETF due to the volatile nature of the space, finally caved in and approved the listing of ProShares Bitcoin ETF which has gone on to make a number of records since its first day of trading.

It is important to note that the Proshares ETF, alongside the younger Valkyrie’s BTF, are both based on futures with the SEC still reluctant to approve an ETF that would grant a direct exposure to the leading digital asset.
