The SEC initially approved Bitwise’s crypto ETF conversion but later issued a stay order, halting its launch. This marks the second such reversal this month, sparking criticism from analysts. The ETF was set to include top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
- SEC approved then halted Bitwise’s crypto ETF conversion under Rule 431, mirroring its earlier block on Grayscale’s ETF.
- The BITW ETF includes 10 major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana but remains OTC due to the stay.
- Analysts speculate the SEC’s reversals may be tied to internal politics or pending 2025 listing standards.
