Bitcoin rebounds from $4k
Having hit $4,000 for the first time for six weeks on expectations that the US Securities and Exchange Commission will soon approve investment vehicles, which would broaden Bitcoin’s appeal, the number one crypto assets rebounded on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, the SEC confirmed that it has obtained a formal request to officially approve a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund created by VanEck/SolidX.
The exchange applying for the listing, the Chicago Board Options Exchange had dared to withdraw its application for a rule update on the ETF. After that at the end of January, it had it resubmitted.
The very essence of the recent notice is that the SEC requires making a decision on whether or not to permit the ETF to start within 90 days. In fact, a preliminary decision is forecast within 45 days. By the way, the previous week nearly the same ETF proposal prepared by Bitwise Asset Management was revealed by the SEC.
Market experts are hoping that the fresh proposals are capable of satisfying the worried expressed by the SEC in 2018, when it neglected a number of ETF proposals.
