None of the screenshots showed the correct ticker for the spot Bitcoin ETF, rather showing tickers related to futures products.The most current changed filing for Arks area Bitcoin ETF from Oct. 11 shows that the fund will trade using the ticker “ARKB.” As of Oct. 25, the section of the DTCC site showing all current ETF listings shows no listing under the ticker of ARKB. The existing list of ARK ETF items on the DTCC ETF list. Source: DTCCThe ticker “ARKA” refers to the ARK 21Shares Active Bitcoin Futures ETF, which according to the most current filing on Aug. 11, is a yet-to-be-approved fund that will offer investors exposure to Bitcoin futures agreements. The tickers ARKY and ARKZ respectively describe the ARK 21Shares Active Ethereum Futures ETF and the ARK 21Shares Active Bitcoin Ethereum Strategy ETF– both are still proposed products pending approval with the Securities and Exchange Commission.Its beginning to look like the iShares listing news was overhyped too. While the crypto market soared on the news that BlackRocks iShares area Bitcoin ETF (IBTC) had been noted on the DTCCs website, a DTCC spokesperson recently exposed that IBTC had been noted on the website since August. The spokesperson said its standard practice for the DTCC to add securities to the NSCC security eligibility file “in preparation for the launch of a new ETF to the marketplace.” Related: BlackRocks iShares Bitcoin ETF mysteriously disappears– then reappears– on DTCC website” Appearing on the list is not a sign of a result for any exceptional regulative or other approval procedures,” the representative added.Traders seeing BlackRocks spot ETF listing on the DTCC site corresponded with a 14% single-day rally for Bitcoin, which quickly broke $35,000 for the very first time in almost 2 years. Around the same time as the rumors of an ARK listing initially began to surface, Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas composed that ARK Invest had submitted a fourth modification to its spot Bitcoin ETF application, which appeared to be mainly cosmetic modifications to the filling. ARK simply submitted modification # 4 to their 19b-4, appears like it is to integrate changes made to their S-1 (which again were to resolve SEC qs). I guess just desire to make both docs be in tune (very first issuer to do so).
