Recent reports from Reuters indicate that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is deeply engaged in technical discussions with asset managers about the launch of bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This shift to more specific aspects of the ETF proposals, involving key players like Grayscale Investments, BlackRock, Invesco, and ARK Investments, is seen as a precursor to potential approval. The discussions have reportedly evolved to a stage where critical details are being hashed out, pointing to a possible breakthrough in the long-awaited introduction of bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. market.
