Regulators weigh the potential dangers of widening investors’ access to cryptocurrencies
For eight years, asset managers have tried to launch bitcoin exchange-traded funds, but success seems no closer now than it did in 2013.
The Securities and Exchange Commission said this month it would seek public comment on WisdomTree’s proposal to launch a bitcoin ETF, focusing on whether the fund would be safe for investors. The agency has already sought comment on pitches from at least four other firms: SkyBridge Capital, VanEck, Valkyrie Digital Assets and Kryptoin Investment Advisors.
ETFs promise low fees, tax advantages and relative ease of trading. Their adoption has upended the way stocks, bonds and commodities are traded. At stake are potentially billions of dollars in fees for managers.
