Bitcoin ETF Investors Will Now Be Able to Redeem Shares for BTC
The Securities and Exchange Commission has approved in-kind creations and redemptions for crypto-based exchange-traded funds, according to a blog post published on Tuesday.
Previously, spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs approved by the regulator were limited to creations and redemption on an in-cash basis, preventing investors from exchanging shares of an ETF for its underlying tokens or vice versa. Now, if a Bitcoin ETF investor wants to swap their shares for the BTC backing them, they’ll be able to do so.
In a statement, SEC Chair Paul Atkins said the approvals will ultimately benefit markets and investors with products that cost less and are more efficient.
“It’s a new day at the SEC, and a key priority of my chairmanship is developing a fit-for-purpose regulatory framework for crypto asset markets,” he said. “Today’s approvals continue to build a rational regulatory framework for crypto, leading to a deeper and more dynamic market.”
