This is interesting....The Commissioner of SEC Hester M. Peirce wants ETF approved and actually disagrees with Twin's ETF dissaproval. Peirce released a statement on the SEC’s website stating "she’d “respectfully dissent (disagree)” from the Commission’s order disapproving the said ETF.
"The Commission’s interpretation and application of the statutory standard sends a strong signal that innovation is unwelcome in our markets, a signal that may have effects far beyond the fate of bitcoin ETFs.
- The Proposed Rule Change Satisfies the Requirements of Exchange Act Section 6(b).
- The Disapproval Order Inhibits Institutionalization.
- The Disapproval Order Dampens Innovation.
- Conclusion - I reject the role of gatekeeper of innovation—a role very different from (and, indeed, inconsistent with) our mission of protecting investors, fostering capital formation, and facilitating fair, orderly, and efficient markets.
