 <p>Goldman Sachs is reportedly seeking a key role in both BlackRock and Grayscale’s Spot Bitcoin ETT. According to a report from Coindesk, the investment bank is seeking to become the “authorized participant” (AP) for the investment product if it receives approval from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).</p>
 <p>The role of an AP remains one of the most important for exchange-traded funds. Specifically, it consists of the creation and redemption of ETF shares to make sure products are traded in conjunction with the specified asset. Alternatively, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Goldman Sachs" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/goldman-sachs.html">Goldman Sachs</a> is among other finance giants such as JP Morgan Chase to take on the AP role for other prospective issuers.</p>
