The asset manager submitted an amended S-1 Form with the SEC on deadline day, switching to cash-only subscriptions like most issuers seeking spot Bitcoin ETF approval.&nbsp;&nbsp;
VanEck’s <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1838028/000093041323002749/c106800_s1a.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">update</a> did not name the authorized participants for its VanEck Bitcoin Trust, an exchange-traded fund aiming to invest in the largest cryptocurrency by market cap at its spot price.

Several other issuers like <a href="https://crypto.news/blackrock-pivots-to-cash-based-redemptions-in-spot-bitcoin-etf-proposal/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BlackRock</a> have filed amended prospectus briefs to the cash-only edict stressed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). However, these updates have not disclosed APs who are effectively underwriters for these spot Bitcoin ETFs.&nbsp;
Underwriters guarantee payment and redemptions in the case of financial losses. These APs are typically banks, insurance companies, or investment houses. Should the SEC approve such products, spot Bitcoin ETF issuers like VanEck must disclose their APs before launch.

 Before launch, every issuer will have to submit an effective prospectus. Essentially meaning they can go live. It’s in there that an AP/underwriter would theoretically have to be named along with fees and other details. <cite><a href="https://twitter.com/JSeyff/status/1740792379286905159" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">James Seyffart</a>, Bloomberg ETF analyst</cite>
