Vaneck's filing for a spot Bitcoin ETF --VanEck Bitcoin Trust (BZX)--was rejected by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), according to a notice published on Friday. The SEC stated that the BZX failed to prove that it complied with the rules, mentioned concerns about preventing fraud and manipulation, protecting investors and the public interest.
