Investment firm Direxion has had the review of its Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) application postponed until September 21. The news about the delay comes from an official document released by the U.S. Government Publishing Office July 24.
An announcement from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said it was appropriate to delay its decision, which only affects Direxions offering.
The Commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period within which to issue an order approving or disapproving the proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider this proposed rule change, it states.
A lot of us now have our fate anchored on the SEC's decision of allowing the funds inflow into the cryptocurrency markets; all in the bid to bring an uplift. Well, delay is not denial as we still await the 21st of September!
