- The U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) seems set to change its stance on Bitcoin ETFs, a shift marked by significant events like the Benzinga's Future of Digital Assets conference.
- Coinbase's Chief Legal Officer, Paul Grewal, shares his optimism regarding a proposed Bitcoin ETF, despite the SEC's initial refusal of Grayscale's proposal.
As the crypto industry marches into mainstream adoption, the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) appears to be warming up to Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). This shift became more evident during the industry-focused Benzinga's Future of Digital Assets conference. Here, significant industry developments, the impact of regulations, and market changes were explored, further emphasizing the growing attention towards the crypto industry.
Coinbase's Chief Legal Officer, Paul Grewal, has been vocal about his optimism surrounding a possible approval of a Bitcoin ETF by the SEC. In a recent interview with CNBC, Grewal explained that owing to legal obligations, the SEC's refusal of such proposals could be overturned, opening the doors for a shift in the SEC's stance towards Bitcoin ETFs.
This stance was put to the test when the courts rejected the SEC's refusal of Grayscale's proposal for a Bitcoin ETF. Despite being the regulatory body overseeing such matters, the court's decision indicates a more complex process than previously assumed and could potentially influence the SEC's decisions in approving Bitcoin ETFs going forward.
