SEC Commissioner voices her support for a spot bitcoin ETF, saying she has supported it for years and doesn't get the agency's approach.
While both the Securities and Exchange Commission and its chair Gary Gensler have at times seemed antagonistic toward approving a spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund, at least one veteran of the agency supports the approval of the product.
"I can't say whether or not the commission is ready to approve a bitcoin exchange-traded product. I've been thinking we should approve one for the last five years," SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce said on Monday during a television interview with CNBC. "The logic for why we haven't has always mystified me."
Earlier this month, Gensler said the SEC was reviewing multiple spot bitcoin ETF applications from major financial firms like Grayscale, BlackRock, Invesco, Valkyrie and Fidelity. The pressure to approve the product has been mounting in recent weeks, and besides the powerful firms themselves lobbying for the funds, both the crypto industry and some U.S. lawmakers have sought to speed the approval process.
Last week, Grayscale filed a new registration statement with the SEC as part of its ongoing attempt to convert its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust into a spot bitcoin ETF. The firm's new filing followed a D.C. circuit court's ruling which directed the SEC to re-review the Grayscale's application. Peirce, who has been in the past a vocal advocate for crypto, appeared to admit her thinking on the bitcoin ETF differs significantly with that of other SEC staff.
