Invesco Halts the Launch of BTC ETF
One of the largest U.S. investment companies, Invesco, commented on its decision to halt a bitcoin-based exchange-traded fund (ETF) based on bitcoin futures. The company stated that regulatory restrictions make this investment vehicle expensive for investors.
"The more we investigated the market and the space, the more we came to realize there are better ways of providing this particular exposure instead of going ahead and giving investors something that was not aligned with what they expect from Invesco."
In October, The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved ProShares' application to launch an ETF futures exchange-traded fund. The ETF's trading volume amounted to 24.42 million shares on its first trading day on the NYSE, nearly reaching $1 billion. Only BlackRock's launched green energy equity product (BlackRock U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness ETF) showed higher trading volume - $1.16 billion.
In the past, The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved an application to launch a bitcoin futures ETF from VanEck. The approval came into effect on October 23, with trading scheduled to begin on Monday, October 25.
