The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has again delayed its decision on a proposal from NYDIG, a subsidiary of asset manager Stone Ridge Holdings Group, for a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund.

The SEC’s rejection or approval of the “NYDIG Bitcoin ETF” was supposed to come by Jan. 15 after prior delay. But the SEC in a notice Tuesday said another 60 days is needed to make a determination. The new deadline is March 16.
