BlackRock’s iShares spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) has been listed on the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), according to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas. 

Notably, the ETF has an IBTC ticker symbol for a possible listing on the Nasdaq stock exchange. 

In a post on [X](https://twitter.com/EricBalchunas?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1716529570759704832%7Ctwgr%5Eab247decefc32384f330fb0c8a75927cc6ab0410%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fcointelegraph.com%2Fnews%2Fblackrock-spot-bitcoin-etf-nasdaq-clearing-firm), Balchunas said the DTCC listing was “all part of the process of bringing ETF to market.” According to him, these signs point to BlackRock receiving permission to list the ETF from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or “prepping everything assuming so.”

BlackRock’s listing comes after a U.S. appellate court issued a mandate to enforce a decision requiring the SEC to review a spot BTF application from Grayscale Investments.
