The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) held a meeting unlike any other before regarding spot Bitcoin ETFs.
According to the statement published by the SEC hashdex representatives met on December 26 to talk about the listing of the Hashdex Bitcoin ETF on the exchange.
The SEC held separate meetings last week with issuers that have applied to establish a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF).
The meeting with Hashdex differs from others in one aspect. While previous meetings included representatives from the Office of Corporate Finance and the Department of Trade and Markets, this meeting included Samantha Ostrom, who works for the SEC Chairman’s Office.
Ostrom, a political consultant, met with representatives from Hashdex, Tidal Financial Group, K&L Gates and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati.
Issuers attempting to establish a Bitcoin ETF are trying to update their applications in line with the SEC’s demands before the end of the year. Following Barry Silbert’s resignation as chairman of the board, Grayscale Investments also made an amendment to its S-3 filing.
