Just a step in the process. Nothing critical,\u201d Seyffart wrote on X (formerly Twitter).<\/p>\n<p>Another Bloomberg ETF expert, Eric Balchunas,\u00a0noticed that WisdomTree took \u201clong enough\u201d to amend its Form S-1 Bitcoin ETF filing. \u201cPlease tell me the SEC isn\u2019t waiting till all S-1s are updated before issuing a second round of comments,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>First deadline window looms for SEC to approve Bitcoin ETFs: Law Decoded<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to Seyffart\u2019s data, only two spot Bitcoin ETF filers out of 12 firms in the U.S. have yet to amend their S-1 filings with the SEC: Franklin Templeton and Global X.<\/p>\n<p>Franklin Templeton is\u00a0awaiting its first spot Bitcoin ETF deadline on Nov. 17. Hashdex, whose deadline was previously also set for Nov. 17, saw its deadline moved by the SEC to Jan. 1, 2024, a few days ago.<\/p>\n<p>Global X, another firm that hasn\u2019t amended its S-1 filing yet, is also awaiting its second spot Bitcoin ETF deadline on Nov. 21.<\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg ETF analysts like\u00a0Seyffart\u00a0expect\u00a0the SEC to do another round of delays on decisions regarding the upcoming deadlines in the near future. However,\u00a0Seyffart still believes the delays would not alter his perspective of the 90% likelihood of the SEC approving a spot Bitcoin ETF before the end of January 2024.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Magazine: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Crypto regulation \u2014 Does SEC Chair Gary Gensler have the final say?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/wisdomtree-amends-spot-bitcoin-etf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The global exchange-traded fund (ETF) provider WisdomTree\u00a0filed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":183767,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
