I fully support the proposed rule change to list and trade shares of SolidX Bitcoin Shares Issued by the VanEck SolidX.
Investors are seeking exposure to Bitcoin. An ETF will bring more liquidity and certainty to the crypto market. This act alone will promote more just principles of trade and prevent fraudulent and manipulative practices within the space. Many commodity-based ETPs would not exist if it was as scrutinized as the Bitcoin market.
Blockchain and cryptocurrencies are an emerging technology that will revolutionize the future (similar to what the internet has done). We need to approve this proposal so companies are free to innovate. The U.S. needs to be leading this charge. Personally as a millennial, I've never been so passionate and excited about a market. I see a lot of hope in the Bitcoin and the crypto market.
Thank you for your time.
