1. BlackRock, Fidelity, WisdomTree, VanEck, ARK Invest, and Galaxy/Invesco have all filed for spot Bitcoin ETFs with hopes of getting approval from the SEC.
2. Coinbase will be partnering with Fidelity and other Bitcoin ETFs to provide surveillance services, addressing the SEC’s concerns about market oversight.
