src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the SEC is yet to approve several applications filed for exchange-traded funds (ETF), there is rousing optimism resulting from the comment of its commissioner.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>SEC&#8217;s Stance On Numerous ETF Applications\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In recent times, the SEC has been loaded with numerous proposals on the Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETF) in the US market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some of the notable companies jostling for approval include VanECK, Fidelity, Grayscale, among others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the SEC has rejected every proposal that has been attended to in the past, Peirce maintains that there could be a paradigm shift due to market maturity and increased interest of serious investors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She emphasizes that the regulatory agency might have to retrace its step on the proposals because of the cryptocurrency market&#8217;s maturity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Peirce also referred to neighboring Canada, where several <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ncfacanada.org\/canadian-regulators-green-light-worlds-first-bitcoin-etf-for-retail-investors\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ETF proposals have been considered<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> by the government, adding that it could also influence the government&#8217;s decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most importantly, she sounded a caveat that applying the current SEC framework on the cryptocurrency market will not lead to Bitcoin ETF&#8217;s success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a result, she expresses the view that the SEC may likely reform its regulatory framework.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the SEC has commented on VanECK BTC ETF filing, Pierce&#8217;s remark seems to ooze out the assurance that SEC may probably reconsider its relationship with cryptocurrency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Given that Congress will approve the nomination of a new SEC Chairman in less than two weeks, who is likely to be Gary Gensler, there is a ray of hope in the crypto space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is because Gensler is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mitsloan.mit.edu\/faculty\/directory\/gary-gensler\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">reportedly<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> a lover and supporter of blockchain technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At press time, the stance of the SEC concerning ETF applications still lies in limbo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nevertheless, Pierce alluded that the non-disclosure of the SEC&#8217;s view on the latest ETF applications is due to ongoing leadership change.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"fin-excerpt\">The cryptocurrency market has been described as matured by Hester Peirce, a Commissioner for the US
