One of the critiques was from Professor Bitcorn stating that 50% of bitcoins are owned by less than 1000 people. Mark Zuckerburg alone owns almost 30% of Facebook and yet they are just fine with listing his little fund. Many companies list their stocks on the exchanges with most of the ownership belonging to two or three people.

And that high percentage number goes down over time as we all see the early adopters dump a large amount of their coins periodically.


I am willing to bet that they do not hold all future ETFs to such a high standard. I would be willing to write to the SEC during any open request for comments to ask if the new ETF fulfills all of the requirements that they rejected Bitcoin for.
