All cryptocurrency related ETFs proposed to the SEC have been turned down or are still in review, but one proposal has two aspects that set it apart from the rest.

The New York-based investment management firm VanEck has been laying the groundwork for a proposal that covers the SEC’s primary concerns since 2015, and only partnered with SolidX this year. The key differentiators are that their ETF is insured, and the minimum share price is $200,000. The share price is critical to keep only accredited investors involved.
