The Bitcoin-focused firm’s filing, which includes a partnership with Morgan Stanley, comes as Canada approved two Bitcoin ETFs in a week
NYDIG’s U.S. application with the SEC joins others by investment firm VanEck, which filed on Dec. 30, and the Feb. 5 filing by bitcoin fund manager Valkyrie Digital Assets.
