<p>The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has reportedly conducted a series of targeted conference calls with all filers of spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). Fox Business Network’s Senior Correspondent, Charles Gasparino, described these engagements as a “rare” occurrence in regulatory actions. The primary focus of these discussions was to persuade issuers to modify their Bitcoin ETF redemption models.</p>

<p>Eleanor Terrett, a Fox Business Network journalist, highlighted the SEC’s specific emphasis during these meetings: the “cash creates” model. This model requires issuers to eliminate the option of “in-kind redemptions” in their filings, effectively mandating the conversion of Bitcoin to cash before trading ETF shares. This approach is consistent with the SEC’s policy, which prohibits broker-dealers from engaging directly in Bitcoin trading. By insisting on cash conversions, the SEC aims to minimize the risks associated with direct Bitcoin transactions, especially in potentially approving these ETFs.</p>

<p>Contrary to earlier reports suggesting a joint conference, Bloomberg’s senior analyst, Eric Balchunas, clarified that these were multiple separate calls to exchanges and issuers, specifically focusing on the “Cash Creates” model. There are hints that the SEC might be encouraging issuers to adopt a more stringent model, possibly the Prime Execution Agent model, wherein a third party oversees Bitcoin transactions for the ETF.</p> 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-implications-for-etf-filers-and-the-crypto-market">Implications for ETF Filers and the Crypto Market</h3> 
<p>The SEC’s decision on multiple ETF filings is expected by January 10. The focus on the Prime Execution Agent model has become a central topic of discussion. Issuers like BlackRock may have to revise their filings to align with these new guidelines. This regulatory move signals the SEC’s shift towards a more interactive and cautious approach regarding cryptocurrencies.</p> 
<p>As the situation unfolds, the implications for retail investors and the broader cryptocurrency market remain significant. Coinpedia will continue to provide the latest updates on this evolving story.</p>
