|Bitwise are trying to move forward with the Bitcoin ETF despite regulatory hurdles.

Hogan also went on to address SEC Chairman Jay Clayton’s interview on CNBC where he said that “progress was being made” with Bitcoin ETFs, even though a lot of work needs to happen. Hougan said:
That’s what we heard in our disapproval. Progress has been made, more work needs to happen. The SEC told us what needs to happen. So we’re following that pathway
So watch this space there are surly more twists and turns to come in this saga and after the company had submitted a 560-page research report to the SEC it seems there is still work to be done.
