Members of VanEck, SolidX, and the Cboe BZX Exchange met with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) staff earlier this week to present a new argument on why the bitcoin ($BTC) market is ready for an exchange-traded fund (ETF). The proponentsโ argument centered around the idea that the bitcoin market is mature enough to support an ETF, and at present looks similar to markets for other assets which already have such products, such as crude oil, silver, and gold.
