The focus on Bitcoin ETF has shifted from the possibility of its implementation to an imminent ratification. Recent statements suggest 2019 is a more realistic date for ratification, given forecasts from several different departments.
One of the most relevant issues today surrounding Bitcoin is the expected approval of the ETF. by the Securities and Exchange Commission While most participants now see Bitcoin getting ETF approval, most are now more concerned with actual time.
About Bitcoin ETF
Simply put, ETFs are any funds traded on a public exchange (mutual funds, hedge funds, etc.). ETFs are primarily assets traded under the supervision of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and as of this writing, Many or most encrypted assets are not considered such assets. As a result, funds that trade them must register their shareholders' equity in the fund as securities, while trading assets remain unregulated.
It is the unregulated nature of these digital assets that is thought to have largely contributed to the SEC's silence, which allowed it to be approved.
Historically, many applications have been filed with the SEC for approval of such funds. The most popular of these applications were two applications filed by Winklevoss twins, which were rejected in March 2017 and July 2018, respectively. This did not prevent other filings from appearing at the SEC, although details were revised and allegedly improved.
