 BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF)&nbsp;was listed on the Depository Trust &amp; Clearing Corporation (DTCC), moving it a step closer to regulatory approval and sending Bitcoin into orbit.&nbsp;
 “Hard not to view this as them getting the signal that approval is certain/imminent,” tweeted Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Eric Balchunas. “Def notable BlackRock is leading charge on these logistics (seeding, ticker, DTCC) that tend to happen just prior to launch.”
 BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust is the first ETF to feature on DTCC, which Balchunas said is a strong indicator of BlackRock’s confidence in the ETF’s imminent approval.&nbsp;

 The iShares Bitcoin Trust has been listed on the DTCC (Depository Trust &amp; Clearing Corporation, which clears NASDAQ trades). And the ticker will be $IBTC. Again all part of the process of bringing ETF to market.. h/t @martypartymusic pic.twitter.com/8PQP3h2yW0

 The ETF analyst also speculated that BlackRock may already have received the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) green light or is preparing for it.
 BlackRock’s application for the ETF, submitted in June, gives the SEC until January 10 to reach a final decision on its approval or denial. Should it gain approval, it could pave the way for a queue of other spot crypto ETFs currently under SEC review.&nbsp;
 Other asset managers with pending applications include Grayscale Investments, Fidelity, and WisdomTree.&nbsp;
 To date, the SEC has not approved a spot Bitcoin or Ether application. The watchdog recently delayed the review process for these funds, adding at least another month to the evaluation period.
