The actual number of rejections was nine.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin ETF Approval Far from Here<\/h2>\n<p>The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed nine rejections to <a href=\"http:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin\">Bitcoin<\/a> exchange-traded fund (ETF) applications from ProShares and Direxion, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/rules\/sro\/nysearca\/2018\/34-83912.pdf\">two separate<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/rules\/sro\/nysearca\/2018\/34-83904.pdf\">filings<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The orders were expected to be announced Aug. 23, which was the deadline for decisions. For previous ETF applications, the SEC delivered decisions in advance of the deadline, likely to avoid market speculation.<\/p>\n<p>In both orders, the SEC cited failure to prevent\u00a0manipulation and fraud as well as failure to prove Bitcoin markets are &#8220;markets of significant size&#8221; as reasons for rejection. This was similar to the reasoning provided by the SEC when they issued a denial of the Winklevoss ETF.<\/p>\n<p>In the filing for ProShares, the SEC wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8230;the Commission is disapproving this proposed rule change because, as discussed below, the Exchange has not met its burden under the Exchange Act and the Commission's Rules of Practice to demonstrate that its proposal is consistent with the requirements of the Exchange Act Section 6(b)(5), in particular the requirement that a national securities exchange's rules be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices. Among other things, the Exchange has offered no record evidence to demonstrate that bitcoin futures markets are &#8216;markets of significant size.'&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Both filings were nearly identical, using very similar wording to describe reasons for denial. The Direxion statement reads:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8230;the Commission is disapproving this proposed rule change because, as discussed below, the Exchange has not met its burden under the Exchange Act and the Commission's Rules of Practice to demonstrate that its proposal is consistent with the requirements of the Exchange Act Section 6(b)(5), in particular the requirement that a national securities exchange's rules be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices.
