<p>BlackRock and VanEck have submitted revised applications for their proposed spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC had previously sent comments to some of the prospective issuers, but these were focused on minor details and were not anticipated to impede the applications.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-about-revised-filing"><strong>About Revised Filing</strong></h2> 
<p>The revised applications submitted by BlackRock and <a href="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GDZxeosWsAAcDI1?format=jpg&amp;name=900x900">VanEck</a> to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have addressed several issues raised during the initial commentary phase. One of the critical areas of focus was how to handle situations where an authorized participant or bitcoin trading counterparty experiences insolvency. The filings now contain language outlining the measures that would be taken in such scenarios.</p> 
<p>Another area of concern was potential conflicts of interest. The filings now acknowledge that there could be conflicts between the issuers’ roles as investment advisers and sponsors of the ETFs. To mitigate these conflicts, the issuers have committed to implementing measures such as independent directors and disclosure requirements.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-fee-structure-of-these-applications"><strong>Fee Structure</strong> <strong>of These Applications</strong></h2> 
<p>Moreover, the lower fee structures of these proposed Bitcoin ETFs could also make them more attractive to institutional investors, who often prioritize cost efficiency and transparency in their investment decisions. Now, the proposed Bitcoin ETFs from Bitwise, Ark/21Shares, and BlackRock boast significantly lower fee structures. Bitwise’s offering stands out with a fixed fee of 0.24%, while Ark/21Shares follows closely behind with a fee of 0.25%. BlackRock’s fee is slightly higher at 0.3%, but still notably lower than the fees charged by some existing ETFs.</p>
