 <p class="is-style-lead">Asset manager Valkyrie Funds is gearing up to <a rel="dofollow" title="launch" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/launch.html">launch</a> its Bitcoin ETF.&nbsp; </p> 
 <p>In a recent tweet from James Seyffart, a research analyst with Bloomberg Intelligence, Valkyrie Funds updated its post-effective date for a leveraged Bitcoin Futures ETF. </p> 
 <p>This product’s initial filing was made on May 15, Seyffart noted. However, the asset management firm has set its sights on a revised Oct. 20 <a rel="dofollow" title="launch" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/launch.html">launch</a> date.</p> 
 <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="valkyrie-jockeys-for-position">Valkyrie jockeys for position</h3> 
 <p>Valkyrie has thrown its hat into the ring alongside prominent asset management firms like BlackRock and Fidelity, all vying for approval to introduce a spot Bitcoin ETF. </p> 
 <p>This move signals a growing trend in the traditional financial sector, where established players are now eager to explore the potential of Bitcoin and other crypto assets</p>

 <p>In June 2023, a Valkyrie subsidiary filed an updated spot ETF proposal. This revised proposal shifted the intended exchange to Nasdaq and updated the ticker to $BRRR. Valkyrie Investments already boasts a Bitcoin futures ETF product listed on Nasdaq.</p> 
 <p>In October 2021, Valkyrie made waves by <a rel="dofollow" title="launch" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/launch.html">launch</a>ing a Bitcoin futures ETF on the Nasdaq exchange, making it the second entity in the United States to introduce a Bitcoin futures ETF.&nbsp;</p>

 <p>Valkyrie is not alone in pursuing a crypto ETF approval in the U.S., as other established players, including Invesco, WisdomTree, and Direxion, are also in the race.</p> 
 <p>BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has also entered the spot in the Bitcoin ETF race, underscoring BTC’s rising acceptance and institutional interest.&nbsp;</p>

 <p>However, Bitwise, a crypto index fund manager, recently backtracked compared to Valkyrie. Bloomberg reported on Sept. 22 that the firm has withdrawn its application to convert its Bitcoin futures fund to a Bitcoin and Ethereum futures fund. This move implies that Bitwise’s fund will continue to focus solely on Bitcoin exposure.</p>

 <p>U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chair Gary Gensler was recently questioned about approving cryptocurrency spot ETFs during a Senate Banking Committee hearing on Sept. 12. However, Gensler emphasized the need for vigilant oversight of the crypto space while failing to answer clearly on crypto spot ETF approvals.</p>
