Authority

“We trust that neither the instability nor the present volume in the bitcoin prospects market will repress the creation and recovery process by approved members and that these manifestations and recoveries will keep the proposed ETF’s market cost in accordance with its NAV.”
Potential Manipulation and Other Risks

A statement from the letter peruses:
“While one can’t discount control in the basic spot advertise, we trust that, because of the broadened proprietorship and volume of exchanging, the market does not have major, basic vulnerabilities. Hence, the Commission’s expanded requirement and administrative activities can diminish the quantity of awful performing artists in a fundamentally stable market.”
