Securities and Exchange Commission staff told several exchanges and issuers seeking to list the ETFs that they should submit a final version of a key document as soon as Friday, according to four people familiar with the matter. According to a Bloomberg report, the sources say that staff had no additional feedback on the paperwork for several of the firms after the latest amendments.
Potential Bitcoin ETF issuers including Grayscale and Fidelity have all submitted their 19b-4 documents in the past week. In the latest update, the SEC appears to not need much else to begin their vote. Pressure has been on the commission to vote and approve Spot Bitcoin ETFs, with multiple court orders and influences pushing for approval.

Bloomberg also reports that ETF approvals may delegate to SEC staff without a vote by commissioners. It’s unclear if SEC staff had no additional feedback for all of the firms’ 19b-4 filings. Regardless, this is a major step towards the final SEC decision and potential approval coming for Spot Bitcoin ETFs.
