Kryptoin Investment Advisors, a financial services company led by Jason Toussaint, refiled an application with the U.S. SEC on Friday for a Bitcoin ETF. It is Kryptoin’s second attempt at an ETF. In October 2019, Kryptoin filed for the “Kryptoin Bitcoin ETF Trust.” It was supposed to be trading on NYSE Arca. In today’s refiling, that’s Kryptoin has changed it to Cboe’s BZX Exchange. There are eight ETF applications on the table of SEC, including the newly attached Wisdom Tree proposal.
The Kryptoin ETF intends to offer bitcoin employing the C.F. Bitcoin U.S. Settlement Price as its pricing mechanism. The revised S-1 form briefs that Kryptoin plans to issue shares on the Cboe BZX Exchange. The WisdomTree and VanEck prospectuses also name Cboe as the planned listing venue, and Cboe has filed paperwork with the SEC to add itself to VanEck’s offering officially.
