The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is delaying its decision on asset management firm Bitwise’s proposed crypto index exchange-traded fund (ETF) to March of this year.

The ETF aims to give investors exposure to a diverse basket of cryptocurrencies such as SOL, XRP and ADA, among others.
US regulators said they need more time to decide whether an exchange-traded fund (ETF) designed as a one-stop-shop crypto portfolio can be listed on the New York Stock Exchange’s electronic securities exchange, according to a Jan. 14 regulatory filing.
The filing was a response to NYSE’s December request for permission to list the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund on NYSE Arca.
If approved, Bitwise’s proposed ETF would be the first diversified spot crypto ETF to hit the US markets. It would also be the first US ETF to hold alternative cryptocurrencies, or “altcoins.”
Fundstrat’s Tom Lee says those who buy Bitcoin around $90,000 now won’t “lose money” over the long term.
Despite a warning from analysts that Bitcoin could fall under $70,000, the asset’s current $90,000 price tag remains a “good entry point” for long-term investors, according to Fundstrat Capital’s chief investment officer.
“I don’t think anyone is going to lose money buying here at $90,000. If they’re trying to time this, maybe they get lucky, and it goes to $70,000,” Tom Lee said in a Jan. 13 interview with CNBC, adding Bitcoin (BTC) will be “one of the best-performing assets of the year.”
At the time of the interview, Bitcoin was trading at $91,662. Lee said that while Bitcoin may be down 15% from its all-time high, this is a “pretty normal correction” for a “hyper-volatile asset.”
Lee said his firm sees one scenario where Bitcoin falls back to the $70,000 zone before rallying, though another scenario could see Bitcoin fall as low as the $50,000 range.
More than half of wealth advisers in the United States surveyed by Bitwise say they’re more open to investing in cryptocurrency after Trump won the US election in November.
More than half of US-based financial advisers responding to a survey by Bitwise said they’re more inclined to invest in crypto due to Donald Trump’s United States presidential election victory.
Bitwise’s latest survey — conducted from Nov. 14 to Dec. 20 — asked 430 financial advisers about their attitudes toward crypto, with 56% indicating they are more likely to invest in crypto this year following the US election results on Nov. 5.
The crypto industry is widely anticipating Trump’s help in steering the US toward a crypto-friendly environment. Jack Mallers, founder and CEO of Strike, said it’s possible that Trump could issue an executive order on his first day in office, designating Bitcoin (BTC) as a US reserve asset.
While the spot Bitcoin ETFs smashed industry expectations in 2024, the products finished poorly with outflows in six of the last eight trading days.
