The news that several other firms have followed BlackRock Inc. in filing to launch spot bitcoin ETFs [has](https://www.etf.com/sections/features/why-blackrocks-bitcoin-etf-may-succeed-where-dozens-failed) [been](https://www.etf.com/sections/daily-etf-watch/blackrock-files-bitcoin-etf) [dominating](https://www.etf.com/sections/daily-etf-watch/blackrock-reportedly-filing-bitcoin-etf) [the](https://www.etf.com/sections/features/digital-goldrush-after-blackrocks-bitcoin-etf-move) [headlines](https://www.etf.com/sections/features/crypto-etfs-surge-spot-bitcoin-etf-hopes) [recently](https://www.etf.com/sections/features/spot-bitcoin-etf-more-likely-far-guaranteed).

The Securities and Exchange Commission has repeatedly vetoed previous attempts to roll out spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds, which directly hold the cryptocurrency rather than derivatives based on its price.

Also in the ETF world, both bond fund behemoth Pimco and thematic stock ETF firm Global X waded into the ultra-short bond ETF business. With the interest rate curve more inverted this year than it has been in over a decade, ultra-short Treasuries are offering attractive yields, as opposed to the effectively zero yield they offered previously.

This may prove to be a useful alternative to money market mutual funds, which have received enormous inflows this year in the wake of the regional banking crisis, for investors looking for low-risk places to park their money.
