Among those claims are those submitted by BlackRock, Ark Invest, Grayscale, WisdomTree, Invesco Galaxy, VanEck, Bitwise and Valkyrie Digital Assets. The SEC has a total of 240 days from the start of the application review to make a final decision on approval or refusal, so we can expect more delays on their part, and the next applications awaiting SEC decisions are those that have deadlines in January 2024. The chances of the SEC approving a spot Bitcoin ETF are still uncertain, as regulators have concerns about possible fraud and manipulation in the cryptocurrency market. However, some analysts and experts feel that BlackRock could have an advantage over other applicants, as it is the world&#8217;s largest asset manager and a leading company in the ETFs industry. Also, BlackRock suggested the so-called &#8220;<em>surveillance-sharing agreement<\/em>&#8221; with Coinbase, which would help track trading and customer identities. This could allay some of the SEC&#8217;s fears and increase the chances of approval. Therefore, BlackRock&#8217;s ETF is most likely the first to get permission from the SEC, if the regulator changes its attitude towardspot Bitcoin ETFs. We all know that this approval would have a positive impact on the price, primarily bitcoin, and then other cryptocurrencies, so we hope that the approval will come soon. There is of course also the possibility that this approval coincides with the next Bitcoin halving, and this combination would certainly have a very positive effect on the price.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f74a784 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f74a784\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2023-11\/93f39062-6de7-4e5e-aaa1-7c9765fafd44.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b28637b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b28637b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/wisdomtree-amends-spot-bitcoin-etf\">cointelegraph<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a0bd6ec elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a0bd6ec\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-32bbbc7\" data-id=\"32bbbc7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b89fb5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3b89fb5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">We also get Ethereum Spot ETF<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-35c91a1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"35c91a1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-76f0501\" data-id=\"76f0501\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5ef05e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5ef05e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>After the SEC approved several ETFs that track the price of bitcoin and ethereum based on future contracts, many investors are awaiting the approval of ETFs that track the price of cryptocurrencies based on the current market, the so-called ethereum market. spot ETFs. Among them is BlackRock, the world&#8217;s largest asset manager, who recently decided to file an application for an Ethereum Spot ETF. BlackRock has already filed an application for the Bitcoin Spot ETF, which is still awaiting the SEC3&#8217;s decision. BlackRock&#8217;s move was interpreted as confirmation that the SEC would soon approve the bitcoin ETF spot, as it would open the door for approval of other spot crypto ETFs, including Ethereum. Many analysts and experts believe that BlackRock has an advantage over other applicants, as it has extensive experience and reputation in the ETF industry, as well as a collaboration with Coinbase, america&#8217;s largest crypto exchange, which would guard ethereum for the ETF. If the SEC approves BlackRock&#8217;s Ethereum Spot ETF, it could have a major impact on the price of ethereum, but also all applications on ethereum, especially in the field of decentralized finance (DeFi). Ethereum is the second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, which at the time of writing this blog was about $ 240 billion, and the price of ethereum itself rose by about 10% after the news of BlackRock&#8217;s application, reaching more than $ 2,100 per ethereum.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-dc8c60a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"dc8c60a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bd61bc9\" data-id=\"bd61bc9\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-73ea5d3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"73ea5d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2022-11\/01bdfd1f-5d27-4140-86be-62207227719f.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f61e88 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9f61e88\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/approving-a-spot-crypto-etf-is-all-about-political-power-perianne-boring\">cointelegraph<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9baf197 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9baf197\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-61749a2\" data-id=\"61749a2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40447f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"40447f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">A blend of the traditional world of finance and cryptocurrencies<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-955dba4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"955dba4\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0cbf687\" data-id=\"0cbf687\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2403332 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2403332\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Cryptocurrency-tracking ETFs, especially Bitcoin and Ethereum, are attracting increasing attention and demand, as they offer an easy, secure and regulated way to invest in this sector.

The approval of crypto ETFs by regulators, especially the SEC in the US, is expected to lead to a rise in the price of cryptocurrencies, as it will increase demand, liquidity and confidence in this sector. Also, it could stimulate development and innovation in the crypto industry, as it would attract new players, partners and users .

One major drawback is that crypto ETFs are not in line with the decentralization and independence philosophy behind cryptocurrencies, as they require trust in third parties, such as ETF issuers, exchanges and regulators. This means that investors who buy crypto ETFs do not own real cryptocurrencies, but only a stake in the fund that accompanies them. Investors in the same cannot control their cryptocurrencies, nor have access to their private keys, which are unique digital signatures that allow cryptocurrencies to be sent and received. All the big believers in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are actually advocating storing cryptocurrencies on their own wallet rather than giving access to the same other people that is, in this case, whoever manages the ETF. This is because they believe this is the only way to ensure security, privacy and independence, and to avoid potential risks such as hacking, theft, censorship, freezing or confiscation of funds by third parties.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b862082 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b862082\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b1f02e7\" data-id=\"b1f02e7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9059b78 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9059b78\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2023-08\/0dadeee3-5509-44bb-b939-7cb15df97bba.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5bc989d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5bc989d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/hashdex-joins-race-for-spot-bitcoin-etf-with-unique-strategy\">cointelegraph<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4a5db05 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4a5db05\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0bf3466\" data-id=\"0bf3466\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-179730c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"179730c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Conclusion<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9707f5a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9707f5a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e41c6fb\" data-id=\"e41c6fb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8fe3ac2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8fe3ac2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In this blog, we wrote about spot Bitcoin ETFs, which are one of the most anticipated and controversial topics in the crypto world. The SEC has already delayed several times the decision of the application for spot Bitcoin ETFs, filed by various issuers, among them BlackRock, the world&#8217;s largest asset manager. BlackRock has also filed an application for an Ethereum Spot ETF, which would track the price of the second largest cryptocurrency. Many feel that BlackRock has an advantage over the others, as it has extensive experience and reputation in the ETF industry, as well as cooperation with Coinbase. If the SEC approves the spot crypto ETFs, it could have a major impact on the cryptocurrency market and attract new investors to this sector. However, spot crypto ETFs also have some drawbacks, such as a higher risk of volatility, lack of decentralization and independence, and a possible negative impact on demand for real cryptocurrencies. We hope you enjoyed reading today&#8217;s blog, we hope you have learned something new, and we would like you to share your opinion on crypto spot ETFs with us on our social networks (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Kriptomat_Cash\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kriptomat.hr\/\">Instagram<\/a>).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s been going on in the past months?
