BlackRock and Bitcoin ETF
BlackRock has recently proposed a bitcoin ETF that will be traded on the stock exchange. The ticker for this ETF is IBIT.
On Monday, an amended S-1 filing was submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which included new language about the creation and redemption mechanism of the fund. This mechanism has been a topic of discussion between BlackRock and SEC officials.
The updated filing indicates that the fund may use a cash redemption model, which is preferred by the SEC. However, the fund may also use an “in-kind” process, subject to regulatory approval.
“The Trust issues and redeems Baskets on a continuous basis,” according to the filing. “These transactions will take place in exchange for cash. Subject to the In-Kind Regulatory Approval, these transactions may also take place in exchange for bitcoin.”
“BlackRock has gone cash only,” Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Eric Balchunas wrote on X. “That’s basically a wrap. Debate over. In-kind will have to wait. It’s all about getting ducks in row bf holidays. Good sign.”
The whole crypto space awaits for the approval of a spot BTC ETF, which will presumably take place ahead of the Bitcoin halving.
