8 BTC ETFs Put on Register
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has accepted applications to create spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds from six firms today, putting them on their register.
Once applications are registered, they trigger a 240-day review period, broken down into four phases of 45, 45, 90, and 60 days respectively. At the end of each phase, the SEC decides whether to approve, reject, or postpone the application. Therefore, September 2, 2023, stands as the next crucial date to monitor.
