SEC Rejects BlackRock and Fidelity’s Bitcoin ETF Applications, Sending Bitcoin Price into a Tailspin

The SEC reportedly informed the Nasdaq and Cboe exchanges that the applications lacked the required clarity and completeness.

BlackRock and Fidelity had reportedly submitted a request to the SEC to create an ETF that would track the price of bitcoin on the spot market.

Immediately after the WSJ report the price of bitcoin plunged below $30,000 to $29,868, recording a 2% loss.

The US regulator has rejected dozens of applications for ETFs in bitcoin in recent years, including an earlier application by Fidelity in January 2022.

In all cases, the authority stressed that the applications did not meet criteria to protect investors from fraud and manipulation.
