The Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe) has officially asked the SEC to let asset managers VanEck and 21Shares bring a Solana-based exchange-traded fund (ETF) to the market.
Cboe, an exchange associated with five of the issuers of a potential spot ether exchange-traded fund (ETF), published its amended 19b-4 filings in response to feedback from regulators. The applicants include Fidelity, VanEck, Invesco/Galaxy, Ark/21Shares and Franklin Templeton.
Excluding Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust, the bitcoin exchange-traded funds have accumulated over $11 billion worth of BTC a month after going live.
In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Mike Belshe, CEO of crypto exchange BitGo, stated that the market structure needs to improve before the U.S. SEC approves Bitcoin ETFs.
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink's change of heart on bitcoin could make it easier for fellow Wall Street executives to embrace cryptocurrencies, but experts warn that his favored financial instrument – the exchange-traded fund, or ETF – is an investment vehicle that's categorically different from the core idea behind digital assets, and could push the industry in the wrong direction.
Shares in Coinbase, chosen as the market for the surveillance-sharing agreements in ETF applications, rose above $80 at around 11:30 ET on Monday.
