The exchange-traded fund provider is the first to pull out its application for a United States spot Bitcoin ETF since the approval of several funds last month.
Global X, an exchange-traded fund (ETF), has pulled out its application for a United States spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund. According to a 30th January filing by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Cboe BZX Exchange filed a withdrawal notice on January 26.
Global X Exits Race for US Spot Bitcoin ETF
Global X initially applied for a United States Bitcoin exchange-traded fund in 2021 and became the first company to have desert its plans after the SEC ratified 11 applications. Funds from Fidelity, BlackRock, and Wisdom Tree were among the ETFs ratified for trading in the United States.
In an X (formerly Twitter) post, James Seyffart, an ETF analyst, claimed that news concerning Global X’s withdrawal was ‘not shocking.’ He also stated that ‘they were aware of the situation since at least early December.’
