This decision allows these ETFs to be listed on major U.S. exchanges, including the Nasdaq, NYSE, and CBOE. Starting from 9 am on January 11, these ETFs will begin trading at the CBOE, which is a historical moment in the history of cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<p>This major approval concludes a long-standing quest spanning over a decade to list Bitcoin ETFs on major exchanges. The SEC\u2019s filing, which briefly overwhelmed their website due to heavy traffic, named 11 issuers authorized to list Bitcoin exchange-traded funds. The SEC\u2019s document states, <em>\u201cAs described in more detail in the Proposals\u2019 respective amended filings, each Proposal seeks to list and trade shares of a Trust that would hold spot bitcoin, in whole or in part. This order approves the Proposals on an accelerated basis.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Immediate Trading<\/h2>\n<p>Leading firms like VanEck were ready to commence trading immediately after approval. VanEck CEO Jan Van Eck, in an interview with CNBC, confirmed their preparedness, saying, <em>\u201cFirms had indicated readiness to begin trading as early as Jan. 11.\u201d<\/em> Other issuers also expressed their readiness to start spot BTC ETF operations without delay.<\/p>\n<p>In anticipation of the approval, BlackRock and ARK 21Shares filed amended applications to offer even lower fees, indicating a competitive market. Currently, Bitwise maintains the lowest fee structure at 0.2%, followed by ARK 21Shares, BlackRock, and Fidelity. Bloomberg\u2019s Eric Balchunas commented on the fee competition, noting, <em>\u201cIt\u2019s also unlikely that firms will change their fees now that the SEC has issued green lights for spot BTC ETFs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The announcement had immediate effects on the market, with Bitcoin trading at $46,681 currently, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/cryptocurrencies\/coinmarketcap\/\">CoinMarketCap<\/a> data, good for a 1% rise, slightly less than what many may have predicted.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.
