The SEC wants to create an even playing field, according to the Grayscale CEO. The clock is ticking down in the Bitcoin ETF race, with a key January deadline approaching.
Grayscale CEO Optimistic About Spot Bitcoin ETF Approval
Grayscale Investments CEO Michael Sonnenshein says he thinks the Securities and Exchange Commission should approve all applications for Spot Bitcoin ETFs at the same time, according to Bloomberg‘s Katie Greifeld. Sonnenshein believes this would prevent Grayscale Bitcoin Trust investors from being disadvantaged compared to other ETF applicants.
Uneven Approval Could Disadvantage Grayscale Investors
According to Grayscale CEO Michael Sonnenshein, investors in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust would be significantly disadvantaged if regulators allow other applicants to list spot bitcoin ETFs but don’t allow Grayscale to convert to a spot ETF. Grayscale has applied to convert their Bitcoin Trust to a spot ETF.
Grayscale CEO Urges Simultaneous Approval
Sonnenshein believes the SEC should approve multiple spot bitcoin ETF applications all at once. This would prevent any applicants from gaining an advantage over others. With a key decision deadline approaching in January, the clock is ticking for regulators to make a call on bitcoin ETFs.
Bitcoin ETF Race Intensifying
The bitcoin ETF race is intensifying as the January deadline for a decision approaches. Allowing only certain applicants to list spot bitcoin ETFs while denying others would create an uneven playing field, Grayscale’s CEO argues. He urges the SEC to approve all applications simultaneously to avoid disadvantaging any investors.
