Global X Withdraws Bitcoin ETF Proposal
Move follows recent approval of 11 other spot bitcoin ETFs by the SEC.
- Global X, a provider of exchange-traded funds, has withdrawn its application for a spot bitcoin ETF.
- The withdrawal comes after the SEC approved 11 spot bitcoin ETFs earlier this month.
- Global X had previously pursued a similar fund in 2021, but faced resistance from the SEC.
- Other firms, including Pando Asset Management and 7RCC, have also filed for spot bitcoin ETFs but have yet to receive approval.
- Despite the withdrawal, the cryptocurrency industry has seen a surge of new investors following the approval of the 11 spot bitcoin ETFs.
