The Chicago Board Options Exchange has extended its approval for listing several spot Bitcoin ETFs, pending the final nod from the SEC.

This announcement was disclosed in a letter to the SEC, indicating the potential listing of Bitcoin ETFs from prominent investment firms, including VanEck, Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, ARK Invest, and Invesco Galaxy.

This decision highlights the advanced stage of ETF proceedings. The Chicago Board Options Exchange’s (CBOE) proactive stance is geared towards accelerating the registration of these securities under Rule 12d1-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As the market anticipates the SEC’s decision, the approval of these ETFs could herald a new era of accessibility, offering traditional investors a regulated and straightforward avenue to invest in Bitcoin.
