For the first time since August, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has two Bitcoin ETF applications. The SEC launched a countdown for the VanEck-SolidX Bitcoin ETF offer, which was relaunched on January 31.

Two Bitcoin ETF applications are awaiting approval. The Bitcoin ETF proposal officially appears in the Federal Register, which officially starts the 45-day deadline for regulators to make initial assessments. During this period, the SEC can approve, reject or extend the offer to make a final decision within 240 days.

Last week, the SEC published a Bitcoin ETF proposal submitted by Bitwise Asset Management with the NYSE Arca. Gabor Gurbacs, director of VanEck's digital asset strategy, said he believed the Bitcoin ETF would serve the public interest.

Gurbacs said, they are working with regulators and other market players to bring simplicity, transparency and professional market standards to digital assets G: "I hope this will be known when the time comes for the investments we make for regulators and market education, hard work and commitment."

Global Bitwise research officer, Matt Hougan said, the ecosystem of crypto systems is developing very quickly to help validate Bitcoin ETFs. In particular, SEC broker Robert J. Jackson Jr. said he expected the financial products to be approved in the end.

Hougan added that despite the crypto-bear market, which is the longest since Bitcoin was born ten years ago, there have been several developments in the field and that various companies have their hands moving.

Many crypto fans believe that Bitcoin ETFs will benefit the market by bringing institutional investors and increasing liquidity. However, the SEC has not ratified the ETF, but has rejected several applications. The SEC's decision with two Bitcoin ETF applications on the table was eagerly awaited.
