The recent registration of the BlackRock Bitcoin Premium Income ETF in Delaware marks a significant step forward for the asset management giant in the cryptocurrency space. However, the road to launching this ETF is fraught with regulatory challenges that BlackRock must carefully navigate, as The source reports that these hurdles could impact the timeline for its approval.
SEC's Cautious Approach to Crypto ETFs
