Just-In: Franklin Templeton's Bitcoin ETF Application Gets SEC Nod

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially acknowledged the spot Bitcoin ETF application from Franklin Templeton, a global asset manager with $1.5 trillion under management. This move comes as the SEC also considers applications for spot crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) from other entities, including Hashdex. Franklin Templeton’s filing is particularly notable due to its substantial presence in the asset management sector.
