Benzinga - BlackRock Inc (NYSE: BLK) and VanEck updated their SEC filings for spot Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) ETFs on Tuesday, incorporating changes from SEC feedback on their S-1 filings.

What Happened: These adjustments aim to minimize shareholder risks in case of insolvency and prevent conflicts of interest for the ETF's authorized participants.

Meanwhile, VanEck's CEO Jan F. van Eck, in a CNBC interview, expressed his expectation for their Bitcoin ETF to begin trading on Jan. 11, with the latest S-1 filings revealing strong seed capital.

In related news, Ark21Shares Bitcoin ETF and Grayscale Bitcoin Trust have also submitted their updated filings to the SEC Tuesday morning.

Why It Matters: Crypto analyst Ali Martinez took to X and stated that if Bitcoin can breach the $48,000 resistance on-chain data suggests a clear path ahead.

Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas stated on X, “BlackRock just re-filed their S-1 based on last min comments given yesterday. Hard to tell what has changed at first glance, but imp thing is that the unheard of 24hr turnaround time bt filing, comments, and re-filing tells us all parties aiming to get this show on road pronto.”

Entrepreneur and Bitcoin Investor, Lark Davis on his X platform cited Bank of America which indicated that $93 million of fresh cash would move Bitcoin's price by 1%. The post also highlights a possible conservative estimate of new cash inflows into Bitcoin by Galaxy Digital.

A long-term crypto and stock investor, Jelle took to the X platform and indicated that there are chances of a “major leverage wipeout tomorrow, in both ways.” He adds, “The #Bitcoin ETF decision will cause volatility levels we haven't seen in a long time. Don't hand your coins to the bankers. Stay off the leverage until the storm clears.”
