SEC


Reset your bitcoin ETF alarm clocks for November 5th. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has a new time frame for reviewing some proposed rule changes concerning several applications to list and trade bitcoin ETFs. There are nine (9) separate ETF proposals from three different applicants that were turned down a month or so ago, but the SEC (at least one commissioner anyway - Hester Pierce) agreed to revisit those applications. New amendments were filed by ProShares (2), Direxion (5) and GraniteShares (2) and all want to list on the NYSE or CBOE. Is this the BIG ONE (decision)? Will there be a bitcoin ETF? What will happen? Well, you have to wait till November 5th. That's when yea or nay comments are due. Set those alarms BTC traders.
