Odaily Planet Daily News According to a report by CoinDesk citing anonymous sources, investment firm Goldman Sachs is in talks with BlackRock and Grayscale Investments to discuss playing a key role in their proposed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). If approved, Goldman Sachs will serve as an "authorized participant" for BlackRock and Grayscale Investments' spot Bitcoin ETF, meaning the Wall Street giant will be "allowed to purchase and redeem shares directly from the ETF," the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission explained in a filing. Although the SEC has not yet approved any spot Bitcoin ETF, experts believe that the regulator will make a decision between January 8 and 10. Goldman Sachs' role as an authorized participant also needs to be approved. (The Block)
