The U.S. SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) has so far approved all Bitcoin ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) applications by numerous companies such as VanEck and 21Shares, citing the lack of transparency and management systems as well as market manipulation concerns. There is a history of rejection in the process.

But this time, BlackRock, the largest asset manager with $9 trillion in assets under management, made the move. Considering its track record, influence, and political power, expectations are rising that there is a good chance that a physical Bitcoin ETF will be approved for the first time, pushing up the crypto asset (virtual currency) market.

According to Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, BlackRock has had 575 exchange-traded funds (ETFs) approved and only one disapproved.
