SEC Denies Winklevoss Bid to Launch Bitcoin ETFs in Surprise Upset

SEC Denies Winklevoss Bid to Launch Bitcoin ETFs in Surprise Upset
For example, the price of one share of the popular gold-based SPDR Gold Shares
ETF (GLD) closely reflects price of one-tenth of an ounce of physical gold.
The Winklevoss ETF was one of three would-be Bitcoin ETFs
that were awaiting SEC approval; this decision does not affect any of the other applications, nor future ones (yet).
A quick history of popular ETFs indicates that investments in that underlying asset actually improved once the ETF was launched.
A Bitcoin ETF, like all ETFs, is solely concentrated on a single underlying asset, the bitcoin.
In any ETF, unit prices closely mirror the price of the underlying.
Short-term traders can bet their money on short-term price moves of bitcoin ETF units and attempt to benefit from trading profits.
