Recent filings for in-kind redemptions in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs indicate positive regulatory progress, enhancing the framework for digital asset funds.
Cboe has amended filings for five crypto ETFs to allow in-kind share creation and redemption, signaling progress with the SEC. Analyst James Seyffart noted cooperation with issuers like ARK 21Shares and VanEck. This change would enable exchanges of Bitcoin or Ethereum for underlying assets, improving tax efficiency, though retail investors cannot directly exchange ETF shares for cryptocurrencies. The shift reflects a move away from cash-only models, joining a growing list of similar requests.
