SEC Seeks Comment on In-Kind Redemptions for Bitcoin, Ether ETFs

This initiative that was noticed by SEC is all about in-kind redemptions for Bitcoin, Ether ETFs.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is out for public comments on a decision being made in a proposal that would provide a possibility for Bitcoins (BTC) and Ethereums (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to be able to create and redeem their shares in the spot cryptocurrency instead of cash. Currently under review following February 10 filing, this likely change could improve tax efficiency and enhance more institutional participation in the cryptographic market.

Cboe BZX Proposes a New Redemption Model

On February 5, Cboe BZX Exchange filed an amended application requesting permission for in-kind creations and redemptions for ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) and 21Shares Core Ethereum ETF (CETH). This approach differs from the SEC’s existing mandate, where crypto ETFs are currently required to perform share creations and redemptions entirely in cash.

In-kind Redemptions are Important

Many authorized traders typically create new ETF shares through cash or basket exchanges of assets underlying the ETF. Redemptions simply reverse this process. In-kind transactions, where an ETF swaps shares for the corresponding basket of digital assets rather than cash, are widely preferred for their tax advantages: reduced capital gains liabilities for investors.

Although showing efficiency, the SEC has not yet approved the in-kind redemptions for spot crypto ETFs. Industry leaders believe that this go-ahead will improve performance of ETF and approve further adoption by major institutions.

Institutional Investment Rising in Crypto ETFs

In the month of January, Nasdaq filed a request to SEC to allow in-kind redemptions for the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) by BlackRock. This is the largest Bitcoin ETF currently existing and hauls about $57 billion in assets. On the contrary, ARKB and CETH such as have much smaller AUMs of $5 billion and $20 million, respectively.

Regulatory Outlook & Future Crypto ETFs

Industry watchers predict that the new U.S. administration is going to take a softer view toward regulations regarding crypto. Going with the above, approvals for digital asset-related financial products are likely to climb. Various asset managers filed for an ETF with alternative cryptocurrencies such as Solana (SOL), XRP, and Litecoin (LTC) during the year 2024. And they have also developed some crypto index ETFs designed to hold diversified baskets of tokens and have sought clearance from regulators.

According to Bloomberg Intelligence analysts, this might put the prospects of approval for new crypto ETFs at a reasonably probable level. The SEC allowing in-kind redemptions just now might set a landmark precedent for broader institutional engagement and add legitimacy to investment products based on cryptocurrency.
