š Buckle up, BTC enthusiasts! Investment giant Franklin Templeton, with a whopping $1.5 trillion AUM, is joining the race to launch a Bitcoin spot ETF in the U.S. market. š According to an SEC filing, the Franklin Bitcoin ETF will issue shares representing fractional interests in its net assets, which primarily consist of Bitcoin held by custodian Coinbase Trust. š Franklin is the 10th fund seeking SEC approval for a Bitcoin spot ETF, joining the likes of BlackRock, Ark, Fidelity, and more. š With Grayscale's recent court win against the SEC, the chances of these ETFs getting the green light are looking brighter! š However, Franklin's filing didn't mention a partner for a surveillance sharing agreement, which could be a hurdle for SEC approval. š¤ Stay tuned for more updates! š°
