Recently, Blackstone Group, the world's largest asset management company, applied to issue a Bitcoin spot ETF, which attracted widespread market attention. Institutional investors have been flocking to the space, seeking exposure to Bitcoin through a regulated product.
However, the lack of a Bitcoin spot ETF has been a major regulatory hurdle in the United States. Former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Jay Clayton believes that if a Bitcoin spot ETF functions like a futures ETF, regulators will have a hard time denying its approval.
He also emphasized that for a spot product application to be approved, it must demonstrate similar effectiveness to the futures market. Additionally, the SEC is asking applicants to provide clearer explanations of how they will manage surveillance sharing agreements to combat fraud and manipulation.
