VanEck has had a rollercoaster of a month with its Bitcoin ETFs. After three Bitcoin Futures ETFs were approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Spot ETFs became the next big thing as they posed a greater advantage for traders. However, this would prove to not be happening anytime soon as the VanEck Spot Bitcoin ETF was rejected by the regulatory body. However, all hope was not lost for the investment fund as it had doubled back with a bitcoin futures ETF. This time around, VanEck found success as the SEC has approved this ETF.

Bouncing Back After A Rejection The VanEck Spot Bitcoin ETF had gotten a rejection from the SEC last Friday after the regulatory body had reviewed the filing. The reason given for the rejection was that the CBOE could not provide evidence that the fund could protect investors from fraudulent trading. So with the safety of investors’ funds in mind, the SEC had stamped out the ETF.

It did however leave bulls in a tight spot as they now had to do more to keep the asset from sliding. Nevertheless, VanEck seems to have taken the rejection in stride. The rejection of the VanEck Spot ETF has raised speculations for when the space may see the first approval.
