Bitwise ETF: SEC Gives Greenlight, Hits Pause Button Hours Later

Bitwise made it through the front door, only to get shoved down the hallway and told to screw off. On Tuesday, the SEC’s trading division approved a first-of-its-kind multi-crypto ETF before the agency’s top brass froze it.

The pause came via Rule 431, a procedural tool used when internal consensus is polarized. Is this the deliberate slowing down of cryptoization in America?

“SEC Division of Trading & Markets has approved the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index ETF… However, like with the Grayscale Digital Large Cap ETF, this approval order is stayed.” — Nate Geraci, President of Novadius Wealth Management
