“We are now in new territory, albeit just a baby step, but seemingly the direct result of leadership change,” he wrote in a post on X.

The SEC also acknowledged a series of other crypto ETF-related applications on Thursday, including Grayscale’s filing for a ETF as well as BlackRock’s proposal to to allow for in-kind creations & redemptions on iShares Bitcoin ETF.
