Stradley Ronon Advises Franklin Templeton on Industry-First Spot Bitcoin ETF
Stradley Ronon advised Franklin Templeton on the formation, registration, listing and launch of the Franklin Bitcoin ETF, one of 11 spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to receive listing approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on January 10.
The Franklin Bitcoin ETF offers investors exposure to bitcoin in an ETF wrapper, thereby providing access through traditional securities brokerage accounts and avoiding the complexities of handling bitcoin directly. The Franklin Bitcoin ETF, which trades on Cboe, issues shares backed by bitcoin held by the fund’s custodian.
