BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, recently filed a complaint with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). bitcoin By filing for the Spot ETF, it sparked hope among crypto enthusiasts that the regulator could finally approve such a product.
But not everyone is convinced that BlackRock’s move is real.
A well-known BTC and cryptocurrency Peter Schiff, a critic, shared his conspiracy theory regarding BlackRock’s application for the Bitcoin Spot ETF on Twitter. He suggested that BlackRock may have bought BTC in the last drop, then applied for an ETF knowing that the news would result in a rally, allowing BlackRock to sell their BTC for a big profit:
“Why did BlackRock apply for a Bitcoin Spot ETF when it knew all previous applications had been rejected? Maybe BlackRock bought BTC on the last drop, then applied for an ETF knowing that the news would result in a rally, thus enabling the company to sell their BTC for a big profit.”

Schiff’s theory implies that BlackRock does not actually believe in the long-term value of Bitcoin, but instead sees it as a speculative asset that can be manipulated for profit.
He also argues that BlackRock knew the SEC would not approve the BTC Spot ETF, as it had rejected all previous attempts by other firms.
