<p class="is-style-lead">BlackRock disclosed JPMorgan Securities and Jane Street as intended participants for its proposed Bitcoin ETF before the SEC decision.</p>
<p>The asset management giant is set to collaborate with the participants, <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1980994/000143774923035559/bit20231227_s1a.htm" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1980994/000143774923035559/bit20231227_s1a.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pending approval</a> from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).</p>
<p>Authorized participants play a crucial role in ETF operations, as they can create and redeem shares. This involves exchanging ETF shares for a corresponding basket of securities mirroring the fund’s holdings or opting for a cash exchange. The disclosure of these authorized participants is considered a pivotal step before the SEC decides.</p>
<p>JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has <a href="https://crypto.news/jamie-dimon-says-he-would-shut-down-crypto-if-given-the-option/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/jamie-dimon-says-he-would-shut-down-crypto-if-given-the-option/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">previously advocated</a> for a government ban on cryptocurrencies, citing concerns about their legitimacy. But with JPMorgan being an intended participant in the <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/bitcoin-etf/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/tag/bitcoin-etf/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin ETF</a>, Dimon’s words contradict his previous statements.</p>
