Gary Gensler Statement on the Approval of Spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Products

Gensler: While we approved the listing and trading of certain spot bitcoin ETP shares today, we did not approve or endorse bitcoin.

"Importantly, today’s Commission action is cabined to ETPs holding one non-security commodity, bitcoin. It should in no way signal the Commission’s willingness to approve listing standards for crypto asset securities."
