Assessing The Prospect Of A Bitcoin ETF As Deadline Looms

Law360, New York ( March 9, 2017, 5:17 PM EST) -- For the last 3 1/2 years, the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission has been considering whether to approve placement of the Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust ETF (Nasdaq: COIN) on the Bats exchange. The Bats exchange is currently the largest U. S. equities market operator, and placement of COIN on the exchange would essentially allow anyone to buy bitcoin just like a common stock. However, on March 11, the SEC must either approve COIN as the first bitcoin exchange-traded fund in the United States, or reject it, because the SEC is finally out of extensions to make a decision.  . . .
