BlackRock and SEC Discuss Bitcoin ETF Approval, SEC Commissioner Supports Crypto Regulation

The meeting focused on the mechanics of the investment vehicle and whether an "in-kind redemption model" or "in-cash" model would be best for investors. Grayscale Investments also met with the SEC regarding its bid to convert its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust into a spot Bitcoin ETF. BlackRock's application for the iShares Bitcoin Trust has sparked optimism among ETF analysts, who predict the long-awaited crypto investment vehicle could hit the market by January.
