 <p>Coinbase Custody is regulated by the New York Department of Financial Services and audited by Deloitte &amp; Touche. The custody services will be a vital part of operations for potential spot-Bitcoin ETF managers.</p>
 <p>The SEC has long pushed back its decision on Bitcoin ETF approval in the US, citing multiple concerns. However, US courts have put pressure on the regulator to make a decision. Thus, the hype around the entire crypto market, specifically Bitcoin, has grown. Hence, approval of the first Spot Bitcoin ETFs is expected to come in January 2024.</p>
