Bitwise Dogecoin, Aptos ETF Filing Updates Suggest Path to Approvals: Analyst
Amended filings for Bitwise's Dogecoin and Aptos ETFs indicate progress towards approvals, according to Bloomberg's Eric Balchunas. The revised prospectuses suggest improved interaction between fund issuers and the SEC, marking a more collaborative attitude. Balchunas emphasizes the substantial engagement from the SEC, contrasting with the previous Bitcoin ETF approval process. He predicts a 90% chance that Dogecoin, Aptos, and other altcoin ETFs will receive approval within two to four months, with staggered decisions. The updated applications include in-kind creation features, viewed favorably by regulators, which would streamline asset exchanges for ETFs. This activity follows a recent surge in altcoin ETF applications, spurred by the successful approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum funds. Other recent applications include a Solana-focused fund by Invesco and a proposal to list Pudgy Penguins tokens. Overall, optimism prevails regarding increasing acceptance of altcoin ETFs by the SEC.
