Availability of a spot bitcoin ETP could have resulted in billions of dollars remaining invested in a regulated and well-understood structure, rather than being tied up in proceedings, it added. Invesco, one of the largest ETF issuers in the world, had $1.4 trillion assets under management as of April. Invesco is pursuing approval to list the “Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF” on the Cboe BZX exchange, while WisdomTree is seeking to list the “WisdomTree Bitcoin Trust...
