The crypto advocacy group Chamber of Digital Commerce called on the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, to approve applications for Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the interests of United States-based investors.
In a Monday report titled "The Crypto Conundrum," the Chamber of Digital Commerce said the U.S. has fallen behind other countries whose residents have access to crypto investment vehicles including Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs. The crypto advocacy group added there were “no reported instances of hacking or theft and no indications of market manipulation” related to Bitcoin ETFs released abroad, suggesting the SEC’s reasoning in previously rejecting applications was “misguided and counterproductive.”
