Hashdex Missing from Latest Round of S-1 Bitcoin ETF Amendments
In the recent wave of amended S-1 filings by multiple asset managers on January 8, the absence of Hashdex, a digital asset management firm, has raised eyebrows. While other firms submitted amended forms, Hashdex did not, leaving questions about the status of its spot Bitcoin ETF application.
Conversion from Hashdex Bitcoin Futures ETF
Bloomberg ETF analyst Jeff Seyffart explains that Hashdex’s application differs from others because it aims to convert an existing Bitcoin futures ETF rather than launching a new product. Seyffart suggests not reading too much into this yet.
Hashdex’s Notable ETF Launch
Last year, Hashdex’s ETF launch attracted attention as it was filed under the 33 Act, which SEC Chair Gary Gensler has expressed concerns about. This filing was seen as a positive sign for the potential approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF.
Hot Take: What’s Next for Hashdex?
The absence of Hashdex in the recent round of S-1 amendments has sparked speculation about the company’s decision. It remains to be seen what this means for their spot Bitcoin ETF application and whether they will provide an update in the future.
