Currently US citizens are using unregulated markets to access Bitcoin, which leaves these people unprotected against fraud and theft. Approval of the VanEck SolidX Bitcoin Trust as soon as possible is necessary to give US Citizens access to a secure way of holding Bitcoin.

Furthermore, it is critical that the US must be the first country to establish a way of holding Bitcoin via the existing financial system in order to secure strategic dominance of the crypto-asset sector. Approving the VanEck SolidX Bitcoin Trust will draw thought leaders to the US financial market, whom will act as a hedge against an outcome where crypto-assets play a more vital role in the future.

Approve the VanEck SolidX Bitcoin Trust as soon as possible.
