The pair advocated for the SEC to approve Bitcoin spot ETFs, with Soto calling crypto \u201ca driver of economic growth\u201d in the U.S. and \u201ccrucial for us to clearly regulate it in order to maximize the potential benefits and mitigate any risks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe SEC\u2019s approach to cryptocurrency regulation has been unacceptable,\u201d said Emmer in the November letter. \u201cWhile the trading of Bitcoin futures ETFs is a great step forward for the millions of American investors who have been demanding regulatory clarity, it does not make sense that Bitcoin spot ETFs cannot also commence trading.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To date, the SEC has not approved any Bitcoin spot ETF application from a financial institution despite some lawmakers and industry leaders criticizing the commission\u2019s inaction for holding the United States back on innovative investment vehicles. However, after Gensler hinted in August 2021 that he would be more open to accepting ETFs based on crypto futures rather than through direct exposure, many companies filed crypto &#8220;strategy&#8221; ETF applications with the SEC. The commission has since approved ETFs linked to BTC futures from Valkyrie, ProShares, and VanEck.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>SEC Advisory Committee member calls agency to open for public comment on crypto regulation<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Companies continue to put forth crypto spot ETF applications, with the SEC recently rejecting those from Fidelity, SkyBridge, and WisdomTree.
