Interview this week too

It was revealed on the 19th that the US SEC held separate meetings with staff from BlackRock and Grayscale regarding the listing application for a physical Bitcoin ETF. This move was well-received by the market, and BTC returned to the $44,000 level.

Although the specific content of the meeting is not certain, the technical points are clear as BlackRock narrowed it down to an “in-cash = cash redemption model” in the application documents resubmitted to the SEC (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) on the 18th. There may have been a discussion over this.

The SEC appears to want financial institutions (APs) to issue shares in Bitcoin ETFs using only cash rather than bringing physical Bitcoin “in-kind” into transactions. For this reason, BlackRock and Fidelity, which originally adopted the word “in-kind,” have changed the wording to “in-cash” in their revised applications.

The final decision on Ark21Shares’ application will be made around January 10th.
