Cboe Küresel Markets said six spot bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) will be listed and start trading on Thursday, Jan. 11.
The exchange listed Ark 21 (ARKB), Fidelity (FBTC), Franklin Templeton (EZBC), Invesco (BTCO), VanEck (HODL) and WisdomTree’s (BTCW) bitcoin ETFs will be listed on the exchange and start trading tomorrow, under its “New Listings” page.
The listing doesn’t mean that the ETFs will be approved by SEC. The commission still needs to approve the applicants’ 19b-4 and S1 filings.

The notice comes ahead of today’s potential official approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). An approval of a spot bitcoin would mean more investors would be able to own bitcoin without having to go to a crypto exchange, potentially providing an easier way to buy the world’s largest digital asset.
There are about a dozen applicants for the spot bitcoin ETFs that are awaiting approval from the SEC. The battle to capture bitcoin ETF markets shares has already heating up between the applicants as peers continue to lower their fees, ahead of the potential green light.
