Navigating the Bitcoin ETF Landscape: Nasdaq Refiles with Coinbase on Board

Nasdaq has refiled an application to list BlackRock’s proposed bitcoin ETF, designating Coinbase as the regulated market under the surveillance-sharing agreement. This move, informed by feedback from U.S securities regulators, follows the requirement for bitcoin trust sponsors to enter into such agreements with significantly sized regulated markets. Despite skepticism, Coinbase shares have risen 8% following this development.
