ARK Invest Files for Bitcoin ETF Again Following Primary Filing Rejection
ARK Invest, spearheaded by Cathie Wood, and 21Shares AG are once again pursuing a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the U.S. after facing an initial setback. This marks their determined effort to bring a spot Bitcoin ETF to the American market, evidenced by multiple filings and amendments.
Initial Rejection and Subsequent Filings: Following the SEC's rejection of the primary filing by ARK Invest for a Bitcoin ETF (26 de may. de 2025), the investment management firm is giving another shot at it. ARK Invest Management and 21Shares US refiled to launch a spot bitcoin ETF (27 de may. de 2025). This is their third attempt (26 de abr. de 2025).
Updated Prospectus and Enhanced Details: ARK Invest has refiled an updated S-1 prospectus for its spot Bitcoin ETF application once again, marking the third such amendment since the initial application (20 de nov. de 2025). The updated filings include an expanded prospectus detailing the proposed BTC ETF's structure and asset custody procedures, such as individual wallets for each Bitcoin (12 de oct. de 2025). Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest has filed a second amended application for a spot Bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund (ETF), filed on October 11 (12 de oct. de 2025).
Positive Signs and Progress: A recent amendment to ARK Invest and 21Shares’ joint spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) application could be seen as a “good sign” of progress (12 de oct. de 2025). The revisions to the filing demonstrate ARK Invest and 21Shares' commitment to addressing the SEC's concerns and securing approval for their Bitcoin ETF.
