Cathie Wood’s ARK Investment Management and digital-asset manager 21Shares amended their application for a US spot-Bitcoin exchange-traded fund to add a surveillance-sharing agreement.
The CBOE options exchange expects to enter into such an agreement with “an operator of a United States-based trading platform for Bitcoin,” according to Wednesday’s updated filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The language mimics a clause in BlackRock Inc.’s spot Bitcoin ETF filing, which landed roughly two weeks ago.
