BlackRock amended its Bitcoin ETF application, requiring Coinbase, the custodian for the ETF, to process Bitcoin withdrawals within 12 hours of receiving the request.

These concerns have been fueled by Bitcoin’s stagnating price over the last few months, despite the influx of institutional investments through these ETFs.
