The chief government of crypto custodian BitGo says that the U.S. Securities and Alternate Fee (SEC) will reject one other spherical of spot market Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETFs) functions.
In a brand new interview on Bloomberg Tv, BitGo CEO Mike Belshe says that the duality of contemporary crypto corporations like Coinbase – which doubles as each a crypto alternate and custodian – will trigger the regulatory company to reject bids for BTC ETFs.
“We’re all excited concerning the ETF. It’s positively getting nearer. We’re positively seeing alerts by way of the conversations that the candidates are having with the SEC. BitGo’s working with a bunch of those guys as nicely so I’m optimistic.
However I feel it’s fairly seemingly we’ve got one other spherical of ETF rejections earlier than we get the optimistic information, and it actually comes again right down to market construction. Gary Gensler’s made no secret at this level it’s a must to separate exchanges from custody. The CFTC (Commodity Futures Buying and selling Fee) market construction is already this fashion – it’s a must to separate exchanges from custody [in] the fairness’s markets.”
Belshe goes on to notice that the SEC will seemingly request that these providers be separated earlier than approving the functions.
“Loads of these functions are with Coinbase custody. Coinbase, whereas I’m not attempting to say that they’re an FTX by any means, they’re taking up additionally sort of that very same playbook. Along with being an alternate and a custodian, they just lately obtained approval from an FCM (futures fee service provider), in fact, they obtained a broker-dealer.
What this implies [is] there are quite a lot of dangers in that entity that aren’t totally understood, and I feel that the SEC may fairly seemingly come again and say ‘Nope, you bought to separate out this stuff totally earlier than we’re going to maneuver ahead.’”
