In a move disclosed Tuesday, the SEC opened the proposal to public comment. This step signals that the Commission is not ready to approve or reject the change without further input.Back in January, Nasdaq filed an amended rule change to allow in-kind creations and redemptions for the iShares Bitcoin Trust.
