SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce is open to reconsidering in-kind redemptions for spot bitcoin ETFs.
In-kind redemptions would allow bitcoin to be withdrawn into one's own custody, turning it into the real thing.
This move aligns with the original intention of bitcoin, which was designed to exist outside the traditional financial system.
Approval of in-kind redemptions would enable spot bitcoin ETFs to serve as significant on-ramps to bitcoin adoption instead of just being speculative investments.
