- Chris Concannon, CBOE president and CEO optimistic about ETF approval
The moment when the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will improve their attitude regarding bitcoin-ETF is not far off. This view was expressed by the president of the Chicago Option Exchange (CBOE), Chris Concannon.
CBOE president also said that the launch of bitcoin futures, which took place at the CBOE in December, indicates the maturity of cryptomarkets. Concerning ETF on the basis of futures, Concannon noted that since no one has yet tested this product, one important task is to determine the correct level of liquidity.
SEC also concerned about volume issue. The trading volume of bitcoin futures is relatively low in comparison with contracts for such commodities as oil or gold. ETF is designed to solve this problem. However, the SEC is unlikely to approve crypto-currency ETF-products without sufficient liquidity of bitcoin futures themselves.
As Concannon noted, in the crypto industry, ETF can offer huge dividends to pioneers.
Recall, on August 7, the SEC extended the term of consideration of the joint application for the creation of bitcoin-ETF from the companies VanEck and SolidX. Nevertheless, representatives of CBOE and the above-mentioned firms are still convinced of the positive outcome of the case.
