The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has given accelerated approval to 11 exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to trade options linked to bitcoin prices on the New York Stock Exchange. This move follows the SEC's previous approval in January of bitcoin ETFs to track the cryptocurrency. Notable funds receiving approval include the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, ARK21Shares Bitcoin ETF, and the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust BTC. The introduction of index options offers institutional investors and traders an alternative way to hedge their exposure to bitcoin. Options provide holders the right to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price by a specific date.

Regulatory crackdowns in the crypto world, such as the recent case involving Binance, may actually revive investor optimism and benefit Bitcoin. Traders speculate that the SEC is more likely to approve US exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that own Bitcoins on a spot basis. Asset managers, including BlackRock and Fidelity, have filed requests to launch spot Bitcoin ETFs, which could attract more investors. While the crackdown might limit unsupervised innovation, it could lead to compliant exchanges and ease concerns about price manipulation, potentially paving the way for the approval of spot ETFs.

Several Wall Street firms, including BlackRock and Fidelity Investments, have filed applications to launch the first US-listed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) holding ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency. A spot ether ETF, if approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission, could open the floodgates for ETFs backed by more speculative crypto assets. However, critics have expressed concerns over the volatility and potential price manipulation associated with these assets. The SEC has until May to approve or reject the first application for a spot ether ETF, with analysts suggesting approval is possible given the recent approval of spot bitcoin ETFs.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved applications from Nasdaq, CBOE, and NYSE to list exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to the price of Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency. Following the approval of bitcoin ETFs in January, this move is seen as a significant win for the cryptocurrency industry. Nine issuers, including VanEck, ARK Investments/21Shares, and BlackRock, are now hoping to launch ETFs linked to Ethereum. The SEC's approval comes as the cryptocurrency industry continues to make strides into mainstream finance, with recent regulatory advancements in both the US and the UK.

Bitcoin investors are celebrating the approval of spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by US regulators. The new ETFs will allow people to invest in bitcoin through a brokerage, albeit issued by major financial institutions. However, this approach contradicts the decentralized vision of bitcoin outlined in its white paper. The ETFs are seen as a compromise to attract institutional investors and make it easier for the general public to invest in cryptocurrency. The arrival of spot bitcoin ETFs is expected to bifurcate the asset, with one form for investment and another held by the ideological bitcoin community.

The price of Bitcoin dropped to around $42,000, down almost 10%, as spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) began trading in the US. Bitcoin had reached a high of $46,000 last week and surged to a two-year high of $49,000. However, the recent dynamics have not met the expectations set by Bitcoin maximalists, and the market's ability to sustain upward momentum is in question. The approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US is seen as a sign of a maturing market and regulatory support.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has once again delayed its decision on BlackRock's application for the iShares Ethereum Trust. BlackRock, a prominent asset manager, filed its application for a spot ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF) in November of last year. The ETF would be listed on Nasdaq if approved. Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency, has seen increasing interest from institutional investors. The SEC previously delayed its decision on BlackRock's application in January, following the approval of several bitcoin ETFs. A spot crypto ETF allows investors to gain exposure to a digital asset's market price without purchasing the currency itself.

Bitcoin has reached a new all-time high, surpassing $69,000, driven by increased demand following the approval of spot bitcoin ETFs in the US and the upcoming bitcoin halving in April. The cryptocurrency has gained over 60% this month and 205% this year. Bitcoin halving occurs approximately every four years and leads to a decrease in mining rates. This process aims to control the supply of bitcoin, and the upcoming halving is expected to further boost demand for the asset. Additionally, the approval of spot bitcoin ETFs has attracted new institutional and retail investors.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may approve exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to the spot price of Ethereum (ether) by July 4, according to industry executives. BlackRock, VanEck, Franklin Templeton, and Grayscale Investments are among the asset managers seeking SEC approval. The process of amending the offering documents is reportedly in its final stages, with minor issues being resolved. The launch of spot bitcoin ETFs in January was highly successful, but analysts expect muted interest in the upcoming ether ETFs due to differences in market size and investor demand. Once approved, the products could start trading in as little as 24 hours.
