The listing comes against the backdrop of a looming decision by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over whether to approve the first bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) for U.S. investors.
On April 9, the SEC officially started its review of WisdomTree’s bitcoin ETF application.
So far, the SEC has blocked all attempts at launching such a vehicle, rejecting over a dozen applications in past years.
That hasn’t stopped Galaxy Digital, NYDIG, SkyBridge Capital and others from submitting bitcoin ETF applications to the SEC in recent months.
