Blackrock Holds Another Meeting With SEC
The expectation of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approving spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has intensified this week as several spot bitcoin ETF issuers engage in discussions with the securities regulator regarding their applications. Notably, Blackrock, the world’s largest asset manager, has held its fourth recent meeting with the SEC concerning its spot bitcoin ETF proposal.
According to a meeting memorandum dated Dec. 14, filed with the SEC, staff from the Office of the Chair met with three individuals from Blackrock.

In this climate, a well-considered checklist is essential for discerning which altcoins might yield substantial returns.
Many others believe that bitcoin is a risk hedge asset. Venture capitalist Tim Draper previously explained that he is bullish about bitcoin because “it’s a great hedge against inflation.” Famed hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones has said several times that bitcoin is his preferred inflation hedge over gold.
Blackrock CEO Larry Fink detailed in July that bitcoin can hedge against inflation and “the onerous problems of any one country, or the devaluation of your currency, whatever country you are in.” Blackrock, the world’s largest asset manager, is currently seeking approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch a spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF).
