Cathie Wood Suffers a Major Blow
Cathie Wood took a hit on Friday when the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) turned down an application for a spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund EFT from the star investor's Ark 21Shares. Basically, the firm wanted the market watchdog to approve spot exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, based on actual bitcoin holdings.
'Protect Investors and the Public Interest'
"any concerns related to preventing fraud and manipulation related to spot bitcoin ETPs would 'apply equally' to the spot markets underlying the futures contracts held by a Bitcoin Futures ETF."
ARK Invest and 21Shares U.S. LLC joined forces last year to launch Ark 21Shares. The application was delayed several times, most recently in January.
Wood has been a big bitcoin and cryptocurrency bull for a while.
