BlackRock says application for spot bitcoin ETF is still under review by SEC

BlackRock said Monday that its application for a spot bitcoin ETF was still under review by the Securities and Exchange Commission as the price of the world's largest crypto currency surged after rumors on social media that the fund had been approved.

A BlackRock spokesperson confirmed with The Block that the iShares Bitcoin application is still under review by the regulator. The SEC has not yet approved of a spot bitcoin ETF in the U.S. Bitcoin had surged toward $30,000 immediately after posts on X suggested the fund had been approved early Monday morning in the U.S. It's since declined and is currently trading at $28,101, according to CoinGecko.  © 2023 The Block.
