The SEC has taken a major step towards approving a spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). On January 5th, several companies filed 19b-4 amendment forms for their spot bitcoin ETF applications. This is one of the final stages in getting SEC approval.

Final Approval Could Come Soon

Some experts think the SEC will approve the spot bitcoin ETFs before January 10th. That’s the deadline for an ETF proposed by ARK Invest and 21Shares. If approved, these ETFs would allow mainstream investors easy exposure to bitcoin. This could spur further bitcoin adoption in the US and globally.

The Road Ahead

The 19b-4 filings are a hugely positive sign for spot bitcoin ETF approval. While a few steps remain, the SEC seems poised to finally give the green light. This would remove a major roadblock to mainstream bitcoin adoption. The coming days and weeks could prove truly historic for cryptocurrency.
