What is somewhat surprising is that the SEC seemingly igored some 1,400 comments submitted to the SEC for the VanEck SolidX Bitcoin ETF, with virtually all of them in favor of it.
there is nothing surprising about that in my opinion. those comments are completely pointless. in fact i believe it was ruined in a way because it became spammy at some point. when people everywhere were hyping it up and encouraging people to go there and make a comment, that is what we end up with.
besides SEC doesn't make decisions based on these things! they have their own process which if you think about it and read their previous reasons for rejection you can see nothing has changed.
