The SEC has officially given approval for the first regulated spot Bitcoin ETF in the United States. January 9th marked a false start for this landmark decision as erroneous tweets from the SEC account caused market chaos.

road to approval

19b-4 filings from companies including ARK 21Shares, Invesco Galaxy and others were approved by the SEC in January, allowing those companies to list spot Bitcoin ETFs for trading. However, instead of the approval document on the Samsung Electronics website, an ‘Error 404’ message briefly appeared. ETFs allow investors to gain an indirect stake in the price of Bitcoin without having to acquire BTC directly or own stored cryptocurrencies.

Statement on Approval of Spot Bitcoin Exchange Trading Products

Chairman Gery Gensler:

“Today, the Commission approved the listing and trading of a number of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded product (ETP) shares.

I have often said that the Commission acts within the bounds of the law and in accordance with how the courts interpret the law. Beginning in 2018 under Chairman Jay Clayton and continuing through March 2023, the committee disapproved more than 20 exchange rule submissions for spot Bitcoin ETPs. One of Grayscale’s filings considered converting the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust into an ETP.”

Background to the SEC decision

The SEC’s decision to grant this request is quite a milestone, considering it has always denied it since Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss first tried it in 2013. The previous refusal was primarily due to concerns about market manipulation and fraud.

Grayscale’s legal overtaking and consequences.

A key consideration for the SEC’s revised position was the August 2023 Grayscale benefits court ruling. This win overturned the SEC’s rejection of Grayscale’s conversion of its Bitcoin Trust to a spot Bitcoin ETF, creating an ideal trend for further approval.

Market outlook and expectations

Industry observers are now paying close attention to the market performance associated with these ETFs. Leading market analysts such as Galaxy Research and VanEck have made large predictions regarding potential inflows into these ETFs, reflecting the overall bullish mood in the market.

Regulatory hurdles and fee structures

To launch a spot Bitcoin ETF in the United States, Forms S-1 and 19b-4 must be approved. Grayscale charges the highest fees. Issuers such as BlackRock, Bitwise, and Ark 21Shares have announced different pricing structures for their ETFs.
