đSEC Approves In-Kind Crypto ETF System
â The SEC now allows crypto ETFs to use in-kind creations and redemptions.
â This means asset managers can swap Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) directly for ETF shares, without converting to cash.
âď¸What It Means
â Improves efficiency and reduces costs for ETF issuers.
â Does NOT allow retail investors to redeem ETFs for actual crypto.
â Analysts call it a âbackend upgrade,â not a retail game-changer.
â Industry Response
â Bitwise is the first to adopt the new system for its Bitcoin and Ether ETFs.
â Bitwise says it aligns crypto ETFs with traditional ETFs, improving pricing accuracy, spreads, and operations.
â Other ETF issuers are expected to follow.
