SEC Delays Decision for BlackRock Spot Bitcoin ETF

After a trio of Spot Bitcoin ETF applications were delayed early Thursday, the SEC will also delay a decision on BlackRock’s Spot Bitcoin ETF application.

The SEC delayed a decision on multiple Spot Bitcoin ETF applications, including Valkyrie, WisdomTree, and Invesco earlier today. After a Washington court overturned the SEC blocking Grayscale’s application earlier this week, many expect the SEC to delay other applications and appeal the court’s decision.

“The Commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period within which to take action on the proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change and the issues raised therein,” documents say in response to the BlackRock proposal.

The SEC has yet to allow any Spot Bitcoin ETF to come to market. The filings say it would delay its ruling on the proposals by at least another 45 days. In addition to the four applications delayed today, the SEC has until September 1 to address an application by Bitwise. The regulator will also need to decide on filings from BlackRock, VanEck, and Fidelity soon.

The SEC’s decision to delay BlackRock’s Spot Bitcoin ETF comes the same week that Bitcoin has shot up in price. The leading cryptocurrency is up over 50% this year.

Mt. Gox repayment date looming: Is Bitcoin in trouble?

Image
As the Mt. Gox repayment deadline scheduled for October approaches, crypto observers expect a major industry event coming up this fall. While the cryptocurrency community is actively discussing the upcoming Bitcoin (BTC) halving in 2024, there is potentially another big market event happening this year. The trustee of the hacked Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox is set to finally repay the exchange’s creditors by the end of October 2023. If that happens, the cryptocurrency market could be significantly affected in several ways, some industry observers agree. Founded in 2010, Mt. Gox was once the biggest Bitcoin exchange in the world, estimated to facilitate around 70% of all BTC transactions before its implosion. The now-defunct exchange lost 850,000 BTC — or 4% of all Bitcoin to ever be issued — in a security breach in 2014. The event made Mt. Gox one of the biggest cryptocurrency bankruptcies of all time, with creditors yet to be repaid, nine years later. As the current Mt. Gox repay ment d

The top two crypto trading platforms by the proof-of-reserves score were Kraken and BitMEX, whereas Binance scored poorly due to its shortcomings. Bitcoin supporter Nic Carter has ranked the attestations supplied by some of the most well-known crypto trading platforms and published an in-depth review of centralized exchange proof-of-reserves. Carter thoroughly analyzed the proof-of-reserves from various exchanges (PoR).
