NEW YORK : Exchange operator Cboe Global Markets on Tuesday filed amended applications to list and trade shares of three spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds, including one by Fidelity, to add surveillance-sharing agreements with crypto-trading platform Coinbase.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has rejected dozens of spot bitcoin ETFs in recent years, regularly saying the exchange proposals do not meet standards designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative practices and protect investors and the public interest. Nasdaq on June 29 refiled an application with the SEC to list a spot bitcoin ETF by BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, which also included a surveillance-sharing agreement with Coinbase.
