VanEck joins the group of asset managers updating applications for a spot Bitcoin ETF in the United States. Asset manager VanEck filed an amended application for a spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) on Oct. 27 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), according to the regulator’s database.
