“It is now widely expected to get the green light this week,” CNBC’s Kate Rooney stated. Moreover, she referenced two sources that confirmed the January 10th deadline as the most likely date of approval. Additionally, she discussed an impending “price war,” from issuers regarding the Spot Bitcoin ETF fees.
Because the SEC is expected to approve a host of ETFs, competition will be abundant. This has already been present in the advertisement battle that started before approvals. Moreover, it has continued in pricing, with asset management firms BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale attempting to compete with each other’s pricing plans for the investment firms.
