Tag: ETF approval

ETF approval refers to the regulatory authorization granted by financial authorities, such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), for an Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) to be publicly traded on stock exchanges. ETFs allow investors to buy and sell a diversified portfolio of assets, including stocks, commodities, or cryptocurrencies, in a single trade. Approval is crucial for ETFs linked to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, as it provides legitimacy, attracts institutional investment, and increases market accessibility. A spot Bitcoin ETF approval, for example, enables direct Bitcoin investment without requiring investors to hold the asset themselves, boosting mainstream adoption and liquidity.
