The San Francisco-based asset management company, Bitwise filed for “the first publicly-offered cryptocurrency index exchange-traded fund (ETF)” amid the varied perspectives between highly constructive crypto-aspirants and diplomatic regulators across the globe.
Yesterday, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) postponed deciding on whether to approve Bitcoin-related exchange-traded funds (ETFs) until September, public documents divulge.
The SEC states:
"The Commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period within which to issue an order approving or disapproving the proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider this proposed rule change. Accordingly, the Commission designates September 21, 2018, as the date by which the Commission shall either approve or disapprove the proposed rule change."
